The automobile is a massive array of moving parts, many of which are found in the transmission. The primary functions of these components are to transfer engine power to the axle(s) and allow the vehicle to move at higher speeds without placing excess strain on the engine. With a standard shift transmission, this process involves a manual clutch that disengages the engine from the transmission and a shifting mechanism to change the gears. When the clutch begins to wear, you can visit an expert repair shop such as Bob’s Transmission for clutch adjustment.
The clutch system is one of the most common reasons for Manual Transmission Repair in GR. This is because the clutch is the weakest component in the system. The clutch plate is covered with a heat resistant fiber, much like that on a brake pad, and this fiber wears down as the pressure plate engages and releases the clutch. Eventually, the clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing will need to be replaced. This job involves disconnecting the transmission from the engine to remove the old parts and carefully connecting things back together with the new clutch assembly.
Other reasons for Manual Transmission Repair in GR include damaged U-joints (Universal Joints) or CV (Constant Velocity) bearings and worn shifting mechanisms. The shifting system can fail if the external parts wear out or when the linkages inside the transmission get stuck. Most of the time, the failure is in grommets or similar weak components. CV joints and universal joints are the bearings that connect drive shafts and axles. Their purpose is to allow an offset between the transmission and the axle. As an example, the U-joint is a cross-shaped part with four bearing caps. This allows the bearing to spin as the drive shaft turns, even when the axle moves. There is one on each end of the drive shaft.
Thankfully, the manual transmission is one of the most durable components on the vehicle. The internal gears are very strong, and the unit rarely needs to be replaced. Possible failure points include worn gears from sloppy shifting or worn seals from too many miles. However, the standard transmission needs plenty of gear oil to keep things lubricated, and this should be checked periodically.
