Gearbox Repairs
We provide expert diagnostics and repairs for manual and automatic gearboxes, ensuring issues are identified accurately before any work is carried out.
Manual Gearbox Repairs
Manual gearboxes are generally robust, but over time components can wear an fail.
​
Common symptoms:
-
Gears grinding or not engaging
-
Gear stick feels stiff or loose
-
Slipping or unusual noises
-
Oil leaks from the gearbox
​​
We inspect the gearbox linkage, mounts, and external components first. Where required, we perform detailed diagnostics to determine whether internal repairs or a full replacement are necessary.​
Automatic & Semi-Automatic Gearboxes
Automatic gearboxes, including DSG, CVT, and torque-converter types, rely on complex electronics and hydraulics. Faults can manifest as:
-
Hesitation or jerking during gear changes
-
Warning lights or fault codes
-
Slipping or loss of drive
​
We use manufacturer-level diagnostic tools to pinpoint issues, ensuring that problems are correctly identified before any parts are replaced. Many automatic transmission issues are often misinterpreted as clutch problems, so correct diagnosis is essential.
Why Diagnostics Matter
Gearbox and clutch issues can overlap. A problem might appear to be the gearbox when it’s the clutch — or vice versa. Early and accurate diagnosis helps:
-
Avoid unnecessary replacements
-
Save money and time
-
Ensure repairs target the true fault
