Does your car make a noise in neutral?

If you start to hear strange noises from your car when shifting or in neutral, it is common to think there is a problem with the transmission, but did you also know that if you hear noises while in neutral it still could be your transmission?  Yes, it can be.

Sounds like this could have a very simple an inexpensive solution. One fix may be just adding transmission fluid or replacing the transmission fluid in the vehicle.

Unfortunately noises from a vehicle while it’s in neutral could mean serious problems as well. Some of the more serious problems could be mechanical issues.
