Bob, I believe I have a similar problem. See "tranny or axle" last post was Thurs July 12th. When slowing down a hill or under hard decel from about 10 to 8 mph my 02 Rubi makes this noise. I have not checked in low range to see if it does it there. I know it will do it in D1, D2 and ESP although ESP is not as bad. I can stop the grinding from happening if I keep a slight throttle pressure. I'm not sure if it is the tranny or clutch but have eliminated the front axle as a possibility. Please post what you find. Thanks, Joe
03 Rubi Two Problems Help!!
My Rubi has 4000km mostly trouble free. But now I have two problems.
1: quite often it will not start in gear, it will turn over but no start. Starts fine in 'N'
2: on a hill in low and coasting down the transmission kinda growls or grinds ratcheting sound it goes away under power and returns under decelaration not the nomal whine the trans makes. I have checked the shifter adjustment and it is all to specs. The rest of the machine runs great.
Any ideas?
TIA

Thanks for the info.
Mine only does it in 'L' and not always.
I will have to try it with the 424 disengaged to see if it changes anything.

Here is an update. The wife mostly rides the Rubi so I had to take it away to test it.
The grinding/ratcheting noise happens when you are going up a steep hill and then coast backward. Or going up a steep hill in reverse and let it coast forward, in the reverse it seems to go for a bit then freewheel. Maybe the hondamatic does this by design.
The rubi will turn over in reverse but will not start, it will start intermittently in D,L. I checked/cleaned the reverse switch, checked the shifter drain for water found none.
The service manual does not cover this at all.
Any more help out there.
