A well-functioning gearbox is central to your vehicle’s performance. Our gearbox overhaul service in Singapore restores worn components to peak condition through meticulous inspection, replacement and reassembly by skilled technicians. With over 20 years of experience in gearbox repairs and complete transmission overhaul, we rebuild your existing unit rather than pushing you straight to a replacement.
A car gearbox overhaul is a complete rebuild. The gearbox is removed, stripped down, cleaned and inspected; worn parts are replaced and the unit is reassembled and tested before it goes back into the vehicle. It is more thorough than a routine service, which only refreshes fluid and filters, and broader than a gearbox repair, which addresses a single fault. Whether your gearbox needs a repair or a full overhaul is confirmed at the diagnosis stage.
Step 1
The gearbox is removed from the vehicle for overhaul and component replacement.
Step 2
The gearbox is dismantled so every internal component can be inspected.
Step 3
Parts and interior surfaces are cleaned and inspected to detect wear or damage.
Step 4
Damaged or worn components are replaced and the casing is inspected for damage.
Step 5
Replacement parts and components are fitted and assembled to specification.
Step 6
The rebuilt gearbox is pressure-tested to confirm smooth, consistent operation.
Step 7
The valve body is inspected and serviced for smooth gear transitions.
Step 8
The unit is fully reassembled and prepared for reinstallation in the vehicle.
Catching these signs early is often the difference between a gearbox repair and a full overhaul. If you notice any of the symptoms below, have your gearbox checked as soon as possible.
There might be instances where a surge in RPM occurs without any input from the driver. This might be due to an issue with the transmission fluid or its filter, which might require a proper cleaning or change depending on its condition.
A clear sign that something has malfunctioned within the Gearbox, the transmission light being On should be the first indication that you should get it checked. Even in the case that it is the transmission check light itself malfunctions, it is still better to be safe and send your vehicle in to get inspected.
The Gearbox is designed to facilitate smooth transition from gear to gear. If you notice any abnormalities when shifting gears or any delayed response to your input, it is a sure sign that the Gearbox has to be inspected.
Sometimes we might hear unfamiliar noises coming from our engines that we might brush off. However, these may just be the early warning signs that damage has occurred with the internal gears and should be checked out as soon as possible.
Jerky car movements can be due to an issue with the transmission pump within the gearbox. The gears themselves might have also worn out, where grinding noises can be heard at the same time. These signs must not be treated lightly and should be looked into by a professional to prevent long term damage to the transmission system.
While driving, you might notice a smell of burning and that might be a huge indicator that something is wrong within the vehicle. However, this could also be due to the transmission fluid of the vehicle overheating. To be on the safe side, it would always be better to send it in for inspection to make sure.
Leakage of transmission fluid can be due to different causes. One such cause could be due to a gap in your transmission system. Leaks can also be a result of wear and tear, possibly due to damage on the fluid lines caused by road debris over time.
The changing of transmission fluid depends from car to car. The usage and mileage will play a part in determining the regularity of change. It is also recommended to check the fluid to detect any irregularity such as change in color, which would be a sign of deterioration of parts in the system. It is advisable to consult a trained professional to determine if a change in transmission fluid is required.
