Gearbox Repairs

There are several signs that indicate your gearbox may need repairs. Here are some common indicators to look out for:

Difficulty Shifting Gears: If you experience difficulty or resistance when shifting gears, such as gears grinding or refusing to engage smoothly, it could be a sign of gearbox issues. This may indicate worn synchros, clutch problems, or other internal gearbox problems.

Gear Slippage: If you notice your vehicle slipping out of gear while driving or having trouble staying in gear, come to Paignton Body Repair Centre Ltd. Gear slippage can occur due to worn gears, damaged shift forks, or issues with the clutch.

Unusual Noises: Strange noises coming from the gearbox, such as grinding, whining, or rattling sounds, are often indicators of underlying problems. These noises can result from worn bearings, damaged gears, or other internal issues.

Leaks and Fluid Contamination: A leaking gearbox or contaminated gearbox fluid (often seen as dark or burnt fluid) can be signs of seals or gaskets that need replacement, or other internal issues causing fluid loss or contamination.

Clutch Problems: Issues with the clutch, such as slipping, grabbing, or difficulty engaging or disengaging, can be related to gearbox problems. The clutch and gearbox work in conjunction, so problems with one can affect the other.

If you notice any of these signs, it is recommended to have your gearbox inspected by a professional technician. At Paignton Body Repair Centre Ltd, our experienced technicians can diagnose and repair gearbox issues, ensuring the smooth and reliable operation of your vehicle’s transmission system.
