How much is gearbox work?

It depends entirely on the vehicle and whether the box can be repaired or needs replacing. We diagnose first and quote before any work begins.

Is it safe to keep driving?

A box that jumps out of gear or grinds is unsafe and can shed debris internally, which makes repair harder. Stop using it and speak to us.

Do you work on automatics?

Contact us with the vehicle details and fault and we will confirm whether it is work we can take on or refer you to a specialist.

Clutch & Gearbox

Gearbox Repair in Iver

Not every gearbox complaint needs a gearbox. Linkages, mounts, clutch hydraulics and oil condition cause many of the symptoms drivers assume are terminal.

Symptoms we investigate

Crunching or resistance going into a particular gear
Whining or droning that changes with gear rather than speed
Jumping out of gear under load
Vague or sloppy gear selection
Grinding or rumble in neutral with the clutch up
Oil leaks from the bellhousing or driveshaft seals

What gets checked first

Gear linkage, cables and bushes
Engine and gearbox mounts
Clutch operation and hydraulics
Gearbox oil level, grade and condition
Driveshaft, CV joint and bearing noise that mimics gearbox wear

Repair or replace

Where a bearing, synchro or seal is at fault and the box is otherwise sound, repair can be the sensible route. Where wear is widespread, a replacement unit is often cheaper and more reliable. We will explain both options for your vehicle.

Symptoms

Symptoms that often lead to this repair

Look up what your car is doing and read what it commonly means.

Whining noise when acceleratingThe useful question is whether the whine follows engine revs or road speed, because that separates belt and turbo noises from gearbox and differential noises.Read more Crunching or grinding when changing gearCrunching often means the clutch is not fully releasing rather than the gearbox being worn out — which is worth establishing before any gearbox work.Read more Car will not go into gearWhether it will not select from rest or fights you between gears tells us whether to look at the clutch release system or inside the gearbox.Read more Engine revs but the car does not moveIf the revs rise and the car stays put or barely pulls, drive is being lost somewhere between the engine and the wheels.Read more
