Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• inspect vehicle and perform a road test to reproduce noise, slipping or shifting faults

• read transmission control module fault codes and check live sensor data

• drain gearbox fluid and remove gearbox or access covers as required for inspection

• strip and inspect internals (gears, bearings, synchros, seals, solenoids) and measure wear

• replace worn components or fit a reconditioned/new gearbox where repair is not viable

• reassemble, fit new seals/gaskets and refill with manufacturer‑specified transmission fluid

• test drive, final checks for leaks and fault clear, provide written report and warranty details

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Diagnostic and report 1–2 hours; minor repairs 2–6 hours; removal and reconditioning or full replacement typically 1–2 days (8–16 hours). extended time may be needed for parts ordering, vehicle recovery or complex internal rebuilds

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• can you reproduce the fault and show the fault codes and live data

• do you recommend repair, recondition or full replacement and why

• what warranty do you provide on parts and labour and what does it cover

• will you supply an itemised parts list and a fixed price before starting work

• do you include vehicle recovery/towing and diagnostic fees in the quote

How to Avoid Surprises

• make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground with keys and any fobs available

• confirm parking and access for a recovery vehicle if towing might be needed

• tell the tradie about recent repairs, noises and any dashboard warnings you have seen

• check for any restrictions in flats or communal garages and arrange permits if needed

• ask that oil containment and safe disposal will be provided and that technicians use appropriate PPE
