How can you tell if you're having manual transmission issues?

Your transmission is instrumental in getting the power from your engine to your wheels - so any problems could leave your car unable to move.

Fortunately, transmission issues have a series of symptoms that are usually easy to identify:

• Difficult shifting - most manual transmissions smoothly change gear ratio with the clutch depressed. If you manual gearbox is being more stubborn than usual, it might be time for a check up

• Strange smells - unusual burning smells from your transmission as your car drives could indicate that the clutch is failing or gears are not meshing as they should

• Leaking or low transmission fluid - leaking transmission fluid is an indication that a part is corroded or worn - and low fluid levels could lead to further damage - particularly around the intricate valve body

• Grinding and whining noises - unusual noises from gearboxes could indicate that fluid levels are low or that internal components are damaged

• Dashboard warning lights - If your transmission or engine light comes on and stays on, it could be a sign that your car's ECU has detected a fault with the transmission

What does a transmission repair or service involve?

Although fluids and some parts can be accessed, serviced, or replaced without doing so - most gearbox repairs will involve removing the full assembly from the vehicle.

The nature of how a gearbox or transmission works means that virtually all of the moving parts are sealed inside a large transmission case. A gearbox specialist will disassemble everything within this case, inspecting each component, then rebuilding with new parts where necessary.

It will usually help you save money in the medium to long run to have some wear items replaced at the same time as your transmission rebuild - for example, the seals and gaskets.

With all this in mind, it's perhaps obvious why transmission issues often result in expensive repairs. Searching for the best value manual transmission specialist locally using Auto Hero will mean you keep your repair costs to an absolute minimum.
