Squealing noise and gearshift problems on Swift Sport 1.6 | SUZUKI

I have a Swift Sport 1.6 and I have a problem that it squeals from time to time. It has a new alternator and a new ribbed belt as well. Then I also have the problem that when I drive to an intersection and brake quickly, I can't get the gear out. I have to move forward with the gear engaged first, and sometimes it takes two or three tries.

Already checked

The user reports a squealing noise, despite having replaced the alternator and ribbed belt. They also have difficulty shifting gears when braking quickly, needing to move forward with the gear engaged to release it.

No, I haven't found it.

    Regarding the squeaking, I would check the belt tension and possibly the pulleys again...

    Compare the V-belt set with the old one, and with the circuit, have the transmission bearing checked.

    Thanks, no such tensioner exists on this car. It only has a serpentine belt and no extra idler pulley. It is tensioned via the alternator.

  5. Marcel S.

    Thanks for the answer, but it doesn't have any idler pulleys

    To better assess your squeak, you should upload a video. That way you can get a better picture of it. I would first re-bleed your clutch. Do you also have the Schaltprinkeme while driving between the gears?

    The water pump is often the problem with the Swift when the V-belt squeals despite being renewed or having sufficient tension……

    I will do it with the video. Regarding shifting, no, I don't have any problems getting into gear while driving, just a slight snag every now and then, but nothing serious.

    Ok, good tip, I'll check if it's leaking or if the grinding is coming from it, thanks

    Are the engine mounts still good? The engine mounting points on the body are usually mounted on rubber mounts. If these are worn out, the engine/transmission will be misaligned and you will have such symptoms.

    But it may be that you can't see anything that way.... However, it is known that the water pump causes problems

    The squeaking in ours came from the tension pulley for the air conditioning compressor belt. This can be easily checked by simply removing it and seeing if the noise is still there. Only the air conditioning compressor is connected to it. The problem with not getting the gears out could unfortunately be due to the common problem with the transmission input shaft bearing.
