The transmission of a car is responsible for transmitting the force generated by the engine to the wheels; it is a fundamental part of the car's movement.
The transmission system is made up of several components, among which the clutch and the gearbox stand out
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REPLACE THE GEARBOX?
If it is manual, the cost of labor and the gearbox itself can range from €1,000 to €4,600
If the gearbox to be replaced belongs to a vehicle with automatic transmission, the price can even reach €8,000
However, by obtaining a second-hand gearbox, verified (its correct functioning by the establishment, of course) it will be possible to considerably reduce the cost of the repair without any doubt
HOW TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR GEARBOX?
It depends on the type of gearbox fitted to your car:
- MANUAL GEARBOX
- A large part of its good maintenance is based on the proper use of the clutch
- Another point to bear in mind is the level of transmission fluid or gear oil. This should be replaced every 80,000 km or 5 years to avoid damage to the component
- We must forget the terrible habit of resting our hand on the gear lever knob, as it can deteriorate the gearbox synchronization system
- AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
- It is necessary to periodically check the oil level and the hydraulic fluid level.
- Carry out the same check on the cooling system, ensuring it is working correctly
