What are the signs of gearbox problems?
Common gearbox issues include difficulty shifting gears, slipping out of gear, unusual noises like whining or grinding, delayed engagement or leaking transmission fluid. You may also notice poor acceleration or shaking while driving. Catching these symptoms early can help avoid serious damage and reduce the cost of repairs or replacements.
How often should a gearbox be serviced?
Manual and automatic gearboxes should generally be serviced every 40,000 to 100,000 kilometres, depending on the vehicle and manufacturer guidelines. Servicing includes fluid checks or changes and inspection of gearbox components. Regular maintenance helps extend gearbox life, improve performance and prevent costly breakdowns.
What does a differential do in a car?
The differential distributes power from the gearbox to the drive wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds, especially when turning. A failing diff can cause clunking noises, vibrations or uneven tyre wear. Maintaining your diff ensures smoother handling and helps protect your drivetrain from strain or failure.
