Gearbox Repair FAQs
What types of gearbox repairs can you carry out?
We provide several options to rectify a faulty gearbox including reconditioning your existing gearbox, replacing with a new gearbox or replacing with a reconditioned gearbox. Our specialist gearbox technicians only fit Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved parts only and all gearbox repairs come with a 12-month guarantee.
Why is my gearbox leaking oil?
Oil leaks can happen for a number of reasons, from wear and tear or broken seals to overfilled oil levels. Over time, your vehicle is at risk of general wear and tear and unfortunately, that includes your gearbox and it’s related connections. Leaks should be fixed quickly, so it’s best to speak to a professional and get your car checked over at an approved garage.
What equipment do you use to repair gearboxes?
At Service4Service, we can confidently diagnose any gearbox issues using the latest computer diagnostic equipment, repairing and replacing only the things that require it, using industry-approved tools and parts.
Will I need a new gearbox if it's slipping out of gear?
It is rare that you will require a new gearbox if it is slipping out of gear. A fault like this can be caused by any number of reasons, such as low fluid levels. Regular maintenance and inspections of your gearbox and all of the related components will save you time and money.
What causes a gearbox to break?
Even when we think we’re taking care of our cars, our gearboxes can still break down, lack of care, poor quality oil and poor driving habits are some of the most common reasons for a gearbox to break.
Should I be worried if my gearbox is making noises?
Unusual noises are one of the most obvious signs that something might be not quite right. Whether it’s whining, whirring, clunking or grinding, if you’re hearing anything out of the ordinary, it can be a sign to contact a gearbox repair specialist.
Why does my gearbox make a grinding noise?
The gearbox shafts need to be moving at the same speed in order to change gears smoothly and when this doesn’t happen, you’ll hear grinding. Modern cars tend to have a synchroniser ring to help keep both parts up to speed, but this can also go wrong from time to time, so it’s best to have things checked out.
Will I need a new gearbox if it's leaking fluid?
We would need to see your vehicle in order to correctly diagnose the issue. A leaking gearbox could be caused by a number of issues which usually only require a minor repair, so you should always visit a gearbox specialist to get it repaired quickly. Ignoring a leaking gearbox might lead to further damage.
Why does my vehicle need the gearbox removed?
Some parts of your gearbox can be repaired without removing them from your vehicle, but not all transmission parts are quite so easily accessible. If a gearbox component needs to be repaired or replaced and it cannot be accessed from underneath the vehicle, then the transmission will need to be removed from the vehicle.
Why does my vehicle need a gearbox rebuild?
Some damage to the gearbox may go beyond the repair of a single component. Over time, wear and tear can cause gears and other parts to not function properly. When this happens, a gearbox rebuild is needed to replace the faulty and damaged parts. With years of experience, our technicians can rebuild your existing gearbox using the latest technology.

Recent Customer Reviews
My car had some problem in gear-box so that I couldn't rive it well. They found out all the problems top to bottom and fixed them all within 1 hour. Technicians are so knowledgeable and experienced in this sector, recommend this shop much.
After reviews on other garages and being a bit concerned how will such a big repair go, I am very satisfied with the end result.
If I ever have such a problem with my car (hopefully not for a long time) I'd choose Service4Service again so I can be sure my car is looked after properly.
Aaron spoke me through the process and got my car over asap, kept clear and concise information on when the car would arrive, any extra issues were rectified and sorted asap. made sure they did a good job and kept communication clear even though the car had been delivered and sorted after.
I experienced a very tough time with my car finance company and original dealers at the time, and the patience direct communication and professionalism displayed by Jon was extremely commendable and I cannot thank him enough for all of his support.
Jon, you were a diamond and haven’t/won’t forget you. You’re an honest trustworthy member of your establishment and I won’t think twice to use your services again.
But to be honest the service was incredible. They fixed my car in a faster time period than I expect and the pick up delivery service they offer is great.
Would definitely recommend and for those who worry, Ask for jon. He honestly can't help enough and he also has a little laugh with you to make you feel a little better.
I especially wanted to thank Jon Wood for the excellent service, advice and guidance and for keeping regularly in touch - nothing was too much trouble for Jon and he was able to answer all of my questions thoroughly so that I could make fully informed decisions.
Service4Service also do routine maintenance as well as major mechanical repairs. I can not rate them highly enough, honesty and trust goes a very long way when dealing with a company, especially if you have never worked with them before.
I highly recommend the services of Service4Service and will be using them next time my car needs servicing or other works.
Work done within the set timeframe and with Ford original parts.
Finance provided without any trouble.
Total Cost, slightly lower than at Ford.
