Automatic Gearbox Repair Specialists for Luxury Cars

The usual signs are slipping (revs rise without acceleration), jerky or harsh shifts, a delay when selecting D or R, a transmission warning light, fluid leaks, new noises, or the car getting stuck in one gear. Any of these is worth a diagnostic check.

Common causes include adaptation values that need resetting, old or incorrect fluid, wear in the valve body or mechatronic unit, and worn engine or gearbox mounts. A scan, fluid check and road test usually narrow it down.

Slipping usually means a clutch pack is not holding. That can be caused by low or degraded fluid, low hydraulic pressure, solenoid faults or worn friction material. Slipping creates heat, so it is best checked early.

Often, yes. Many faults are in replaceable components such as solenoids, seals, the valve body or individual clutch packs. Whether a repair, an overhaul or a replacement makes sense depends on what the inspection finds, and we explain the options before any work starts.

It depends on the gearbox and how the car is used. Some manufacturers describe the fluid as long-life, but heat, traffic and age still degrade it. We can check the fluid condition and recommend an interval for your car.

Reverse uses its own clutch or band, so a worn reverse clutch, low fluid, a valve body fault or a selector/range sensor fault can all stop it engaging. Avoid forcing the selector and have the gearbox inspected.

The control unit has recorded a fault. It could be electrical, such as a sensor or wiring problem, or mechanical, such as slip or overheating. Reading the fault codes is the first step. Clearing them without finding the cause usually brings the light back.

Yes. Automatic gearboxes in premium cars such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, Porsche, Volkswagen and Skoda are our main focus. Tell us your model and gearbox symptoms when you book.

Yes. We read transmission control unit fault codes, adaptation values and live data, and check the sensors, wiring and power supply the gearbox depends on.

It is best not to. Slipping generates heat and accelerates wear, and a problem that could be repaired can become a full rebuild. If you must drive, keep it gentle and short and book an inspection as soon as you can.
