Common issues
Our experienced technicians will carefully assess your manual gearbox’s symptoms to accurately pinpoint the root cause of your issues. This includes addressing common problems such as:
- Difficulty engaging gears (e.g. crunching, stiffness)
- Gears slipping out of place unexpectedly
- Unusual noises (e.g. grinding, whining, clunking, humming)
- Burning smells from the gearbox or clutch
- Leaking gearbox fluid
- Excessive play or vibrations in the gearstick
- Clutch issues (e.g. slipping, juddering, biting point problems)
Manual Transmission Servicing
- Fluid Drain & Refill: We remove old, degraded gearbox oil and replace it with fresh, high-quality lubricant specifically recommended for your vehicle's make and model. This ensures optimal lubrication, cooling, and protection for internal components.
- Comprehensive Inspection: Our technicians perform a detailed inspection of all internal and external gearbox components, identifying any signs of wear, damage, or potential future problems.
Manual Transmission Repairs & Rebuilds
- Component Replacement: We replace worn or damaged parts with high-quality components, adhering to our "must-replace" list for various gearbox types. This often includes synchros, bearings, shafts, and selector forks.
- Reconditioning & Rebuilding: For more extensive issues, we offer comprehensive reconditioning and rebuilding services, restoring your manual gearbox to factory specifications. This involves stripping the gearbox down, cleaning all components, replacing worn parts, and reassembling with precision.
- Clutch & Flywheel Services: We also specialise in the inspection, repair, or replacement of clutch kits and flywheels (including dual-mass flywheels), which are integral to the proper functioning of a manual gearbox.
