Auto Gearbox Repair

What's So Important About a Vehicle's Gearbox?

The gearbox is a mechanical device that changes the speed of a motor or increases the output torque. The gearbox is present between the engine and the driveshaft in a car. It consists of several gears that are in mesh with one another, and it’s this meshing causes the output shaft to rotate at different speeds.

If the gearbox is malfunctioning, it can cause many problems for the car. For example, if the gears are not meshing correctly, it can cause the engine to overheat or the vehicle to jerk when you change gears. That’s why it’s so important to keep your gearbox in good working order. You need the best auto gearbox repair service you can get.

Common Signs Your Gearbox Needs Repairs

If there’s a problem with your gearbox, it’s essential to catch it early so that it doesn’t lead to more severe issues down the road.

Here are some common signs that your gearbox might need repairs:

Slipping Gears: If you notice that the gears are slipping, it’s a sign that there’s a problem with the meshing. The slippage may be because of wear and tear, damage, or a lack of lubrication.

Jerking Car: If the car jerks when you change gears, it’s a sign that the gearbox is not working properly. It may be due to different things, including damage to the gears or a problem with the clutch.

Unusual Sounds: If you hear any unusual noises coming from the gearbox, it’s a sign that there may be a problem. The most common noise is a grinding sound, which indicates that the gears are not meshing properly.

Vibrations: If you feel vibrations coming from the gearbox, it’s usually a sign of wear and tear. The vibrations and sounds often occur together.

Burning Smell: Another common symptom of a gearbox problem is a burning smell. It indicates that the gears are overheating due to a lack of lubrication.

Overheating Engine: If the engine is overheating, it’s most likely because the gearbox is not working properly. The problem may arise because of a lack of lubrication or damage to the gears.

Leaking Fluid: Leakage is another common problem with gearboxes. If you notice fluid leaking from the gearbox, it’s a sign that there’s a problem, and you should have it repaired as soon as possible.

Common Gearbox Malfunctions

Many different things can go wrong with a gearbox. Here are some of the most common malfunctions:

Damage to the Gears: If the gears are damaged, they may not mesh correctly, and this can cause all sorts of problems, including overheating and jerking. Our mechanics can take care of that, repairing the damage that’s causing the gears to malfunction.

Wear and Tear: Over time, wear and tear can take its toll on the gearbox. It can lead to problems with the gears meshing, fluid leakage, etc.

Lack of Lubrication: One of the most common causes of gearbox problems is a lack of lubrication. If the gears aren’t properly lubricated, they can overheat and wear down quickly. Therefore, we ensure to properly lubricate the gears during every gearbox repair.

If you’re experiencing any of these problems, it’s time to bring your car in for a gearbox repair. Our auto gearbox repair services are the best in the business, and we’ll get your car back up and running in no time.
