Gear backlash?

  1. #1
    Its not a saxo, its a 306 but I imagine the possible problem is related to all cars...

    When in gear and rolling without pressing the accelerator I'm getting a noise from the engine, it sounds a bit like high revving. Whenever my foot is on the throttle or not in gear I don't get the noise. Ive been advised its gear backlash but they didn't seem very interested and just wanted any advice on this if people are aware of it and can confirm if this is the problem?

    thats nothing to do with backlash. backlash is the movement between teeth on a cog when pressure is applied and removed

    So gear backlash has or creates no noise?
