Gear Boxes

Gearbox problems are one of the most commonly encountered car problems. Which can  paralyze the car until it is completely fixed. Most of the trouble with a gearbox is caused by fluid related problems. This lubricant also acts as a heat sink to absorb all the heat energy generated inside the gearbox.

Gear Slipping This is the second most commonly encountered gear box problem slipping symptoms are:

• Delay gear change –  the response in the vehicle’s acceleration is delayed after pressing on the accelerator.
• Increased RPM – abnormal rise in engine’s revolutions per minute.
• Downshifting – while driving at a constant speed on a higher gear, the vehicle abruptly shifts a lower gear without you changing gears.

Surging

Surging means abnormal jerking movements experienced while changing gears. As the gears engages and disengages, a problematic gearbox does not make a smooth transition but instead takes time to adjust to the new resistance offered by the wheels. This problem is only observed at lower gears. Overheating If your temperature monitor shows very high temperature and you find that the car radiator is doing fine, then there is tremendous possibility that the vehicle has a gearbox problem.
