Home – Automatic Transmission Repairs and Rebuilds
At Tektronic, we specialise in diagnosing, servicing and repairing automatic transmission for a wide range of makes and models including Porsche, Mercedes, Jaguars, BMW’s, VW and Audi vehicles.

Over time, the gearbox may exhibit signs of wear and tear, or develop issues that could significantly impact the vehicle’s performance and safety. Here are just a few reasons why a car might need a gearbox overhaul:
Worn Clutch: The clutch in a manual or semi-automatic gearbox can wear down or burn out with time and usage, leading to a need for an overhaul.
Fluid Leaks: Transmission fluid is crucial for the gearbox’s operation. A leak can lead to low fluid levels, causing overheating and other severe problems.
Unusual Noises: If you hear whining, clunking, humming or other unusual noises coming from your gearbox, it might be an indicator of internal wear or damage.
Gear Slippage or Hard Shifting: Difficulty in shifting gears or experiencing gears slipping out of place is a common sign of gearbox problems.
Delay in Movement: A delay or complete lack of movement when trying to shift gears is a common symptom of transmission failure.
A gearbox overhaul involves dismantling the gearbox, replacing worn or damaged parts, and then reassembling it, effectively restoring its performance and extending its lifespan. This is a meticulous task best undertaken by professionals, especially for prestige vehicles that entail complex engineering and high-quality components.
Servicing an automatic gearbox is crucial for maintaining the longevity and functionality of your vehicle for several reasons. Here are just a few:
Lubrication: Automatic gearboxes have many moving parts. The transmission fluid lubricates these parts to prevent friction, which could lead to significant wear and tear. Over time, this fluid can degrade or become contaminated, hence requiring replacement.
Cooling: The transmission fluid also acts as a coolant to prevent the gearbox from overheating. During servicing, the fluid level and quality are checked to ensure it can effectively cool the transmission.
Cleaning: Modern automatic transmission fluids contain detergents that help clean the internal parts of the gearbox. They remove the build-up of sludge and other contaminants, which can hinder performance.
Efficient Gear Shifting: A well-serviced automatic gearbox facilitates smooth and precise gear shifts, ensuring an enjoyable and safe driving experience. It ensures that the transmission operates efficiently, providing the correct amount of power to your wheels to drive at a given speed.
Regular servicing can identify and fix minor issues before they escalate into major problems that require expensive repairs or replacements. Tektronic has been servicing the gearboxes for Prestige Vehicles for over a decade now.
In some cases, an automatic transmission rebuild may be required. A transmission rebuild involves disassembling the entire transmission, inspecting and cleaning each component, and replacing worn or damaged parts. Our technicians at Tektronic are skilled in performing comprehensive transmission rebuilds, ensuring that your vehicle’s transmission functions like new once the process is complete.
