Gearbox & Transmission Repairs in Tyne and Wear

Gearbox & Transmission Repairs from our Hebburn workshop

Gearbox trouble usually announces itself: crunching gears, whining noises, slipping, juddering or a car that will not select a gear. The cause is not always the gearbox itself, which is why diagnosis comes first.

Banks of the Tyne Motor Co offers manual gearbox repairs, automatic gearbox repairs, gearbox replacement, gearbox servicing, transmission diagnostics, differentials, driveshafts and CV joints from our Hebburn workshop, serving drivers across Tyne and Wear. If your gearbox, clutch and engine are all involved, we can look at all of them.

Specific services

Manual gearbox repairs

Manual gearbox repairs tackle crunching, whining, jumping out of gear, stiff shifts and noisy bearings. We diagnose the cause, which may be worn synchromesh, bearings, selector parts or low oil, and repair the gearbox accordingly.

Automatic gearbox repairs

Automatic gearbox repairs address slipping, juddering, delayed engagement and harsh shifts. Causes range from fluid condition and sensors to internal wear, so we start with transmission diagnostics before advising what is needed.

Gearbox replacement

Gearbox replacement is sometimes the sensible route when a gearbox is badly worn or damaged. We discuss the options, fit the replacement unit and check that gear selection, fluid level and the clutch or torque converter work properly.

Gearbox servicing

Gearbox servicing covers fluid and, where fitted, filter changes. Many automatic gearboxes are described as filled for life, but fluid still ages, and servicing can help extend gearbox life. We will follow the guidance for your vehicle.

Transmission diagnostics

Transmission diagnostics use fault-code reading and road testing to pinpoint gearbox and driveline problems, including electronic faults in automatic and semi-automatic transmissions.

Differentials

Differential repairs address whining, clunking and oil leaks from the differential, which shares power between the wheels. We check oil, bearings and gears and repair or replace what is needed.

Driveshafts

Driveshaft repairs deal with vibration, clunks and damaged shafts that carry power to the wheels. We inspect the shafts and joints, and replace those that are worn or damaged.

CV joints

CV joints let the driven wheels turn and move with the suspension. A clicking noise on turns, or torn rubber gaiters throwing grease, are the typical signs. Catching a split gaiter early can prevent the joint failing.
