Service the right fluid — diagnose the wrong shift
Harsh shifts, delayed engagement and gear-selection problems can come from fluid condition, adaptation, controls, linkage or internal wear. Fluid changes help maintenance; they are not a cure for every fault.
We match oil specification and service method to the gearbox. Electronic faults and major internal work require diagnosis and may be workshop-routed.
When SSK supplies parts, the quote is prepared after the registration and job are checked. Exact brand and availability are confirmed before payment.

What kind of shift problem is it?
These signs narrow down the sensible first step. They are not a diagnosis: two faults can feel very similar from the driver’s seat.
Routine automatic service is due
A fluid-and-filter service follows the gearbox specification and service history.

Codes, fluid condition and live adaptation data should be checked before choosing a repair.

Selector cable or linkage faults can mimic internal gearbox trouble.

Only make checks that your vehicle handbook permits, with the car safely parked, switched off and cool where relevant.
- Note which gear, speed and temperature triggers the fault.
- Check for fresh fluid leaks underneath without crawling under the vehicle.
- Find any previous gearbox-fluid invoice; the exact fluid and procedure matter.

Automatic Gearbox Oil & Filter Service
Drops the pan at our garage, replaces the internal filter, cleans the magnets and refills to the exact level and temperature the gearbox specifies. The single best thing you can do for the life of an automatic, and far more thorough than a flush alone.
Automatic Gearbox Fluid Flush
Machine flush that exchanges nearly all the old fluid rather than just the amount in the pan. Best on a gearbox with a known service history, and we will advise against it on a neglected high-mileage box.
Gear Linkage / Selector Cable
Replaces worn selector cables or bushes on a manual gearbox. Symptoms are a vague or sloppy gearstick, difficulty finding reverse, or gears that will not engage cleanly.
Gearbox Mount
Replaces a collapsed gearbox mount, done at our garage because the gearbox has to be supported from underneath. Causes a heavy clunk on gear changes and a vibration through the gearstick.
DSG / Dual-Clutch Mechatronic Service
Service or replacement of the mechatronic control unit on a dual-clutch gearbox, carried out at our garage. Book this for jerky low-speed changes, a flashing gear display or a gearbox that drops into neutral.
Gearbox Replacement Or Rebuild
Replacement with a reconditioned or used gearbox, or a rebuild of yours, at our garage. As with engines, we will price it against what the car is worth and tell you straight if it is not economic.
Torque Converter Replacement
Replaces the torque converter at our garage, which requires the gearbox to come out. Classic symptoms are a shudder at a steady 40 to 50mph, slipping under load and a rise in engine revs with no acceleration.
CVT Belt / Chain Replacement
Replaces the belt or chain inside a continuously variable transmission at our garage, which means removing the gearbox. Symptoms are slipping under acceleration, juddering and a whining that rises with road speed.
You do not need to diagnose the car yourself
If the symptom is unclear, intermittent or affects more than one system, choose our Find The Fault service. We investigate the cause, explain it in plain English and price the right repair before parts are ordered.
Gearbox & Transmission FAQs
Will an automatic gearbox fluid change fix slipping?
Not necessarily. Slipping can reflect hydraulic, control or internal wear. Diagnosis and fluid condition should guide whether servicing is appropriate.
Is a gearbox flush the same as a fluid and filter service?
No. A service usually drains a defined quantity and may replace a filter; a flush exchanges more fluid. The correct method depends on gearbox design and condition.
Can you use universal automatic transmission fluid?
Only fluid meeting the exact manufacturer specification should be used. The wrong friction characteristics can affect shift quality and durability.
Can SSK Mechanics do this at my home or workplace?
Many gearbox & transmission jobs are mobile. Services needing a vehicle lift, controlled workshop equipment or high-voltage isolation are marked as workshop jobs; where available, SSK arranges collection and return.
What if I choose the wrong service?
If you cannot confidently match the symptom to a job, choose Find The Fault instead. The technician investigates the cause and explains the correct repair before parts are ordered, helping you avoid paying for a guessed part.
