All aspects of the ‘transmission’ system are prone to deterioration over time. If you begin to hear grinding, slipping, or crunching while changing gear, it’s is time to have things checked before any issues can get worse.

If you are experiencing a grinding noise while changing gears, then its time for a check. Slipping clutches are the most common faults. We can recognize them easily as they make it hard to change gears. Our services include everything ranging from fixing a broken down clutch cable to replacing the entire clutch kit. Mostly, the problem can be obvious and simple to fix, like replacing the fluid of the clutch. 

Your manual transmission works hard from the moment you flick the ignition; think about how often you change lanes, stop at lights and change gears in response to sudden conditions – your gearbox is under a lot of strain, converting energy into acceleration and torque. After a while – around 30,000km depending on your lifestyle – the good ol’ gearbox becomes less effective, clutch fluid becomes metallic sludge and heat under the hood ramps up, no longer mitigated by healthy manual transmission fluid.

Make sure a bad gearbox doesn’t bungle up your weekend plans with a regular manual gearbox service. Our local clutch and mechanical experts can assist with all your vehicle’s needs whether it is a clutch services or a manual transmission check up:

– Drain and assess gearbox fluid, detecting the presence of sludge

– Clutch fluid replacements and flushing to ensure your hydraulic components are kept in good working order.
– Check for wear and tear on seals
