Gearbox Repair & Replacement Prices
The cost of gearbox repair depends on the type of fault and your vehicle model. The final price is determined after diagnostics, but below are the starting prices for our most popular services.
| Service | Price from |
|---|---|
| Gearbox diagnostics | €30 |
| Manual transmission oil change | €50 |
| Automatic transmission oil change | €50 |
| Gearbox replacement (removal & installation) | €200 |
| Manual gearbox repair | €100 |
| Major manual gearbox overhaul | €300–600 |
Before starting any repair, it's essential to determine whether the problem comes from the gearbox itself, the clutch, or another part of the drivetrain. After the inspection, you'll receive a clear explanation of the fault and a detailed list of the recommended repairs.
Manual Gearbox Repair
Manual gearbox repair is carried out when serious faults or excessive wear of internal components are found. We repair most types of manual transmissions.
The service includes:
➔ gearbox removal;
➔ complete disassembly and inspection;
➔ replacement of worn components (bearings, synchronizers and gears);
➔ gearbox reassembly and installation;
➔ final operational testing.
📊 In most cases, repairing a manual gearbox restores its performance and avoids the need for a complete replacement. Depending on the complexity of the repair, the work usually takes 1–2 business days.
Gearbox Replacement
We provide gearbox replacement when repair is no longer cost-effective or when a faster solution is required. Based on your vehicle's condition and your budget, we'll help you choose either a new or a quality used gearbox.
Gearbox replacement starts from €100, with most jobs completed in 1 working day or more.
Replacement is recommended only when the damage is too severe or when repair costs are close to the price of another gearbox. After diagnostics, we always explain both options and help you choose the most practical and economical solution.
📊 During gearbox replacement, we also inspect the clutch, since it is already accessible once the gearbox has been removed. This can save you significant labour costs in the future.
What's Included in Gearbox Maintenance?
Gearbox maintenance is a preventive service designed to extend the life of your transmission and reduce the risk of expensive failures.
- First, we check the condition and level of the transmission fluid, which lubricates and cools the internal components. Transmission oil gradually loses its protective properties after approximately 60,000–80,000 km, and even sooner under frequent city driving conditions.
- If necessary, we perform a gearbox oil change using fluid that meets the manufacturer's specifications. For automatic transmissions, we may also replace the transmission filter and carry out a more detailed fluid inspection, as operating temperatures 10–15°C above normal significantly accelerate wear.
- We also inspect the transmission for oil leaks and check the condition of seals and gaskets. Even a small leak can eventually reduce the oil level and lead to serious gearbox damage.
After servicing, we perform a road test to ensure the transmission shifts smoothly, without jerking, unusual noises or other operational issues.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a used gearbox?
Yes. A used gearbox is often a more affordable solution, provided it is in good technical condition. Before installation, we inspect it carefully and advise whether it is suitable for your vehicle.
When does a gearbox need to be replaced?
Gearbox replacement is usually recommended if you experience:
- loud whining or grinding noises while driving;
- gears jumping out of position;
- gears failing to engage;
- damaged or broken gears;
- a cracked or damaged gearbox housing;
- operation without transmission oil or with severe internal wear;
- repeated failures after previous repairs.
In these situations, gearbox replacement is often faster and more cost-effective than rebuilding the existing unit.
Is it better to repair or replace the gearbox?
In most cases, repairing a manual gearbox is the better option because it preserves the original transmission and reduces overall repair costs.
Replacement is recommended if:
- the repair cost is close to the price of another gearbox;
- the damage is too extensive;
- you need the vehicle back on the road as quickly as possible.
👉 After diagnostics, we'll explain both options, compare the costs and repair times, and help you choose the solution that best fits your needs and budget.
