This part is also known as the transmission, and it is an essential component of the car's drivetrain system. Its main function is to adapt the engine's torque and speed to the needs of the wheels, allowing the driver to select the appropriate gear during the different stages of driving.

There are two types of gearboxes: - Manual, in which the driver selects gears using a gear lever and a clutch pedal. - Automatic, in which gear changes are made automatically by the vehicle's system. Within automatic gearboxes, there are several types, such as torque converters, dual-clutch (DSG), and continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Both types of gearboxes require some maintenance. In the case of manual gearboxes, they should be checked regularly, with the transmission oil changed periodically in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. For automatic gearboxes, maintenance is even more important — the automatic transmission fluid should be changed regularly to ensure smooth operation and extend the unit's service life.

While this is ultimately something a mechanic will need to assess, there are some warning signs that your gearbox may be failing — such as difficulty changing gears, unusual noises when shifting, the gearbox not holding a gear, or jerky gear changes.

It depends on the extent of the damage. A minor issue, such as a faulty connection, is very different from a broken gear lever or a completely failed gearbox.

The price can vary depending on several factors, such as the make and model of the car, and above all, whether you are buying a new part or a used gearbox. In addition to the cost of the part itself, you should factor in the cost of a mechanic, as this is a complex part to replace and it is best left in the hands of a professional.

If you want to save money when purchasing this part, we recommend buying it used.
