What is a Gearbox Rebuild?

A gearbox rebuild involves dismantling your manual transmission, inspecting all internal parts, replacing worn or damaged components, and reassembling the gearbox to factory specifications. Rebuilding your gearbox can be a more cost-effective and long-lasting solution compared to fitting a second-hand or brand-new replacement, especially if your gearbox housing is still in good condition.

When Does a Gearbox Need Rebuilding?

Some common signs that your gearbox may require a rebuild or reconditioning include:

• Difficulty selecting or engaging gears
• Grinding noises when changing gears
• Slipping out of gear unexpectedly
• Visible oil leaks around the gearbox area
• Unusual noises such as whining or clunking during driving
