Frequently Asked Questions
How much does gearbox replacement cost in the UK?
A reconditioned (remanufactured) gearbox typically costs £300–£1,200 for the unit, plus £400–£800 labour. A new OEM gearbox can cost £1,000–£3,000+ for the part alone. The total bill depends heavily on vehicle make and model — specialist and performance cars sit at the top end.
Is it better to repair or replace a gearbox?
Worn synchromesh rings or bearings can often be rebuilt at lower cost than full replacement. However, if the gearbox casing is cracked, multiple internal components have failed, or a repair estimate exceeds 70% of the replacement cost, a reconditioned unit usually offers better value and reliability.
What are the warning signs of gearbox failure?
Common signs include difficulty engaging gears, a grinding or crunching sensation when changing gear, the gearbox jumping out of gear unexpectedly, whining or humming at certain speeds, and a burning smell from the gearbox area. Catching these early can mean the difference between a repair and a full replacement.
