Gearbox

At Car Servicing and You, our fully equipped workshop in Carnegie, next to Caulfield and Malvern East, provides gearbox repairs and replacement for all makes and models. All our car repairs come with a minimum 12 month/20000km warranty.

Like automatic transmissions, gearboxes need to be lubricated with oil which in turn needs to be changed at regular intervals to maintain the function of the gearbox.

Common symptoms of gearbox problems include:

• Hard to select gears
• Crunching noise when changing gears
• Stuck in gear
• Unable to select any or all gears

Manual transmissions and clutches are used to transmit energy from one mechanical device to another. The gearbox varies the speed of motion of the vehicle through increasing or decreasing torque through the utilisation of different size gears. This, in turn, changes the speed at the wheels through reducing or increasing the number of times the driveshafts turn in relation to engine speed.
