Reconditioning
Gearbox Centre follows a documented strip, clean, measure, and rebuild process. Worn bearings, seals, and synchromesh components are replaced as required; gears and shafts are inspected against service limits. Units are reassembled to specification and checked before dispatch.
Warranty covers parts and workmanship when correct oil specification, fill level, and installation procedures are followed. Misapplication or incorrect lubrication can void cover.
Identification
Locate the type plate on the gearbox housing for model, ratio, and oil data. Share a clear photo with Gearbox Centre for confirmation before you commit to exchange or strip-and-quote.
Maintenance
Oil change: Follow OEM interval for duty cycle - typically 60,000 to 100,000 km for highway use
Break-in: Avoid aggressive shifting and extreme loads for the first 1,000 km after installation.
- Use only the oil grade specified for this transmission family.
- Incorrect fill volume or GL grade is a common cause of early failure.
