Gearbox Repair
A to Z technician working on a gearbox in the workshop

Dealer-level gearbox standards, best pricing

A gearbox rebuild is one of the most expensive jobs you can face, so nothing is stripped before it is diagnosed. You get the readings and a written quote first.

Why us

Diagnosed before anything is stripped

Most gearbox complaints turn out to be fluid, solenoids or a valve body rather than a full rebuild. Diagnosis first saves owners a great deal of money.

  • Live data and adaptation valuesRead before quoting, because they tell us wear history.
  • Fluid condition assessedColour, smell and debris say a lot about internal condition.
  • Filled at temperatureAutomatic fluid level is only correct at a specific fluid temperature.
  • Adaptations reset after workSo the gearbox relearns shift points correctly.

Warning signs

Signs your gearbox needs attention

Transmission faults rarely fix themselves and get dearer the longer they run. Catch these early and a service often solves it.

  • Slipping between gearsRevs rise without the car accelerating — worn clutches or low line pressure.
  • Harsh or delayed shiftsA jolt into gear, or a pause before drive engages, points to fluid or solenoids.
  • Shudder at light throttleTorque converter lock-up judder, often fixed before it damages anything else.
  • Whine that rises with speedBearing or pump wear inside the box; worth diagnosing quickly.
  • Burnt smell from the fluidOverheated fluid has lost its protection and the clutches are wearing.
  • Warning light or limp modeThe box has logged a fault and dropped to a safe gear to protect itself.

Our process

How the job runs

No work begins until you have seen the problem and approved the price. If we find something extra, it stops and comes back to you.

01

Road test and scan

Fault codes, live data and adaptation values read before anything else.

02

Assess the fluid

Condition and level tell us whether this is a service or a strip.

03

Quote in writing

Service, valve body, or rebuild — with the price for each option.

04

Repair and relearn

Rebuilt or serviced, adaptations reset, and road tested through all gears.

FAQs

Gearbox Repair questions

Yes, despite some manufacturers calling it sealed for life. In Dubai heat the fluid degrades faster. Regular services are far cheaper than a rebuild.

Not necessarily. Slipping can be low or degraded fluid, a solenoid, or a valve body fault. We diagnose before quoting, and often the fix is far less than a rebuild.

We drain and replace the filter rather than pressure flushing. High-pressure flushing on a high-mileage box can dislodge debris and cause new problems.

Typically one to two weeks depending on parts availability and whether the unit needs machining. We give you a date with the quote.
