Gearbox Repair in Birmingham
Grinding gears, slipping out of gear or gearbox whine all point to trouble inside the transmission. Our Birmingham workshop diagnoses gearbox faults properly — inspection and road test first — then repairs with a fixed quote you approve. Call or WhatsApp 07961 404768, open 24 hours.
The gearbox is one of the hardest-working parts of your car, and when it starts to complain — crunching shifts, popping out of gear, whining under load — it pays to have it looked at by people who diagnose before they dismantle. Our Birmingham workshop handles gearbox inspection and repair on all major vehicle brands.
We inspect first, explain in plain language, and only start work you have agreed to. Gearbox work ranges from a simple linkage adjustment to internal repair, so an honest diagnosis matters more here than anywhere.

Gearbox symptoms we investigate
Common faults we see include difficulty selecting gears, grinding on shifts, the gearbox jumping out of gear, whining or humming that changes with speed, clutch-drag symptoms that turn out to be gearbox-related, and oil leaks from seals.
Because clutch and gearbox symptoms overlap, our inspection covers both — so you pay for the right repair, not a guess.
How we diagnose gearbox faults
Diagnosis starts with a road test to feel the fault first-hand, then a ramp inspection: fluid level and condition, linkages and mounts, seals and casings. Only if the evidence points inside the box do we discuss removal and strip-down — and you approve that step before it happens.
- Road test to experience the fault directly
- Fluid level, condition and leak inspection
- Linkage, cable and mount checks
- Plain-language report with a fixed quote
Repair, not just replacement
Where a repair is sensible we repair: bearings, seals, synchros and linkages can often be fixed without a full replacement unit. If the box is beyond sensible repair we will tell you straight and quote the alternatives. Either way, the decision is yours after a clear explanation.
Frequently asked questions
Do you inspect the car before starting work?
Gearbox work always starts with an inspection. We road-test where appropriate, check fluid levels and linkages, and explain the fault in plain language before quoting. You approve the work before we touch a bolt.
How much will it cost?
Gearbox repair cost depends on the fault and the vehicle. A linkage adjustment and a full rebuild are very different jobs, so we inspect first and quote a fixed price you approve before work begins. Call or WhatsApp 07961 404768.
Is it the gearbox or the clutch?
The symptoms overlap, which is why we inspect both. Dragging or crunching can be clutch hydraulics; whine under load or jumping out of gear points to the box. Our inspection tells them apart before you spend anything.
Do you repair automatic gearboxes?
Tell us your make, model and gearbox type when you call and we will confirm what we can do for your specific vehicle before you book in.
