Transmissions - Car

The term transmission refers to a car’s entire drive train; including the gearbox, clutch, differential and final drive shafts. A transmission gearbox in a car adapts the high rotational speed output of the engine to turn the car’s wheels. Motor car transmissions can be manual, automatic or semi-automatic—also known as a clutchless manual.

Service providers can offer a wide range of manual gear transmission and auto transmission servicing and parts from a complete transmission rebuild to a routine transmission servicing. Transmissions can be completely reconditioned or replaced by new or reconditioned units. Other services may include diagnostics checks, torque converters, transmission parts, valve body assemblies, new gearboxes, rebuilt gearboxes. Car transmission service providers will inspect the vehicle, provide quotations and offer expert opinions and then carry out repairs in a professional manner.

Most service providers will be able to provide service on all 4WD, Front Wheel Drive and Rear Wheel Drive transmissions. Some vehicles however have unusual or uncommon transmission type, such as continuously variable transmissions (CVT), infinitely variable transmissions and electric variable transmissions. These transmissions, which are often found in new hybrid vehicles, may require a specialist service.
