The gearbox is a highly complex system and recognising that you have a gearbox problem can be tricky unless you are an expert.

What causes gearbox problems?
A car gearbox is subject to constant friction which will eventually lead to parts wearing down. At Highview Garage, Finchley, London, we recommend you bring your vehicle in the minute you experience any of the symptoms below because the cost of repairing the transmission will increase significantly the longer you delay.

What are the most common gearbox issues?

• Grinding noise every time you try to change gears.
• Clutch has too much slack in the pedal
• Slipping Gears
• Noisy while in neutral
• The engine light is on
• Won’t go into gear
• Burning smell
• Shaking or grinding
• Leaking and low fluid
• No response from gearbox
