Gearbox Repairs Made Affordable

​

Transmission issues don’t always mean expensive replacements. Many main dealers might suggest replacing your entire gearbox with a new unit, often quoting thousands for the job.

At Essex Automatics, we believe in providing a smarter, more cost-effective alternative. Our team specializes in repairing or rebuilding your existing transmission, saving you from unnecessary and costly replacements

Signs You May Have a Faulty Transmission:

------------------------------------------------------------------

• Slipping gears or delayed gear engagement

• Loss of power, especially at certain speeds

• Strange noises such as whining, clunking, or grinding

• Fluid leaks under your vehicle

• Burning smell coming from the transmission

• The vehicle not moving when in gear

• Check engine light or transmission warning light illuminated

​​

While these symptoms often point to a transmission issue, other factors can mimic gearbox problems, such as:

• Engine Performance Issues: Faulty sensors (e.g., MAF, oxygen, or differential pressure sensors), air-fuel ratio problems, or clogged intake/exhaust systems can cause hesitation or power loss that feels like slipping.

• ABS and Traction Control Faults: Malfunctioning ABS or wheel speed sensors can confuse the transmission control system, leading to poor shifting behavior.

• Electrical or Control Unit Problems: A failing Transmission Control Module (TCM) or unstable voltage supply can affect gear changes and mimic mechanical faults.
