The check gears light has been coming on since the pump went out. Went to autozone and they said the knock could be clogged valves or a bad sensor because the gauge us still reading low when full. I'm honestly not sure what the knock could be, I'm new to working on cars but I'm no dummy. . . The pump I'm talking about is the oil pump. I just bought one from autozone yesterday

So you just replaced the oil pump? You sure everything is put back together correctly?

Never heard of a "check gears" light in my life... Check gauges perhaps?

dude if you meant check gauges light and that happened after an oil pump change you better shut that thing down NOW! that light don't come on easily it is like a you are about to get F***** warning. And now I will say that knocking is a bearing that just got screwed.
