Unusual sounds while shifting gears typically indicate mechanical wear o r fluid-related issues:

Grinding: May be caused by worn-out clutch packs, misaligned gears, o r insufficient fluid.

Whining o r humming: Often linked to low o r old fluid, bad bearings, o r internal CVT belt wear.

Rattling at idle: Could be a sign of torque converter problems o r transmission mount issues.

Fix:

Check the fluid level and condition first.

If noise persists, have a transmission specialist inspect bearings, torque converter, and internal gear assembly.

Replace o r rebuild parts as needed—catching this early can prevent full failure.
