Components

The transmission & gearbox consists of: gearbox (manual or automatic), clutch (manual), torque converter (auto), gear selector mechanism, gear cables, gearbox mounts, transmission fluid, CV joints, driveshafts.

Petrol & diesel vehicles

Manual transmissions are simpler and cheaper to maintain. Automatic transmissions (conventional, CVT, DSG/dual-clutch) require specialist fluid changes and are more expensive to repair.

Hybrid & electric vehicles

Most electric vehicles use a single-speed reduction gearbox with no traditional transmission. There is no clutch, no gear changes, and virtually no transmission maintenance required.

Common faults

The most common transmission & gearbox faults we see across Bradford and West Yorkshire include: difficulty changing gears, grinding or crunching noises, slipping gears (auto), clutch slip or judder, gearbox whine, transmission fluid leak, DSG mechatronic unit failure.
