Experiencing signs that you may need gearbox overhaul?
Gearboxes are sophisticated pieces of machinery that must be delicately handled and carefully repaired. Transmission overhaul and transmission rebuild are the common jargons that the garage may use interchangeably with gearbox overhaul. In simple terms, this means dismantling all the complicated parts, and replacing the necessary components to restore working order and building the parts back together again.
Is An Overhaul Needed?
As the gearbox is one of the most expensive parts of a vehicle to repair, here are some tips to help you spot signs when your gearbox is crying for your attention, alerting you to a problem.
- Slipping Gears – Notice that your gear change is sloppy, jarring transition when accelerating or if your car is losing speed.
- Dragging clutch – As with any good relationship, you need to listen to your car. If you hear humming or buzzing sound, or when you experience grinding noise when accelerate on speed.
- Resistance – If your vehicle hesitates to go into gear, or a lack of response while driving or parking.
- Leaking transmission fluid – This is the clearest alert to the problem. If you notice any of the situations below, these are signs that your vehicle needs to get checked:
(a) Little liquid which is bright red/clear and sweet smelling on your driveway
(b) Dark colour liquid with burnt smell on your driveway

After my free servicing period for my car, I thought it was time to look out for better priced alternatives. I gave ECV Car Service Singapore a call and tried out their service. It was a hassle free experience and good value. - Kenneth Chin, Buona Vista
I had a tire leak caused by a puncture after driving over some construction debris. ECV Car Service Singapore could fix this up for me so I don't need to spend on a new tire. Friendly workshop! - Mr K.T. Liew, Redhill
My car aircon was not functioning and I was not sure what the cause was. I initially brought my car to the dealer workshop and was told the compressor is down. But the price quoted for the compressor replacement was so high. I then gave ECV Car Service Singapore a call, and the price turned out to be much lower, and quality of service good. Thumbs up! - Joel Tan, Bukit Batok
