I mean our site, since I am already a member. You may redirect this topic should there have been a similar one. Please advise.

Hi Isabela, welcome to Tsikot and to Suzuki APV Thread.. regarding your question... I am first curious why are you shifting from 5th gear to 4th? if you can answer some or all of my questions below so we can trace the sound that you are talking about.

1. Are you shifting from 5th Gear to 4th gear due to slower speed, thus the downshift?
2. Are you downshifting because you are doing an "engine break"
3. What is your "RPM" when down shifting from 5th Gear to 4th Gear.

lastly.. is the sound where you are "grinding" the gears?

Thanks.

Oliver
