Gearbox Replacement – Ringwood

A failing gearbox is one of the more serious problems a car can develop, and in many cases, replacement is the most practical solution. At FitnFix Auto, we replace manual and automatic gearboxes on a wide range of makes and models.

Signs Your Gearbox Might Need Replacing

• Grinding, whining, or clunking noises when changing gear
• Difficulty selecting gears, or gears slipping out on their own
• Fluid leaking from underneath the car near the gearbox
• A burning smell, particularly on automatic gearboxes
• The gearbox warning light appearing on the dashboard

Can a Gearbox Be Repaired Instead of Replaced?

Sometimes. If the fault is isolated to a specific component, such as a sensor or a seal, a repair may be possible. However, if there’s significant internal wear or damage, particularly to gears or bearings, replacement is usually more reliable and cost-effective in the long run.

How Long Does Gearbox Replacement Take?

This depends on the vehicle and whether it’s a straightforward swap or a more involved job. We’ll always confirm a realistic timeframe once we’ve assessed the car, along with whether a courtesy car might be useful in the meantime.

What Type of Replacement Gearbox Will Be Used?

We can source new, reconditioned, or used gearboxes depending on your budget and how long you’re planning to keep the car. We’ll talk through the options and recommend what makes the most sense for your situation.
