The importance of transmission maintenance is self-evident. It is related to the smooth operation and extended service life of the car. As a core component of the vehicle's transmission system, the gearbox needs regular maintenance to maintain optimal performance.
Maintenance frequency of different types of gearboxes
- Manual gearbox: It is generally recommended to check every 10,000 kilometers and completely replace it at 60,000-80,000 kilometers. Manual transmissions that use mineral oil need to be replaced every 2-3 years or 40,000-60,000 kilometers, while those that use synthetic oil can extend to 150,000-200,000 kilometers.
- Automatic transmission: It is usually recommended to replace it every 2 years or every 40,000 kilometers driven. For Japanese models, it is recommended to replace it every 40,000-80,000 kilometers, and vehicles with more high-speed driving are recommended to replace it every 40,000 kilometers.
- The maintenance cycle of CVT gearbox is slightly longer, generally every 2-3 years or 60,000-80,000 kilometers.
- Dual clutch gearbox: Due to its complex structure and high maintenance costs, it is usually replaced at around 150,000 kilometers.
Transmission repair kits are special parts kits for repairing transmission failures, which are divided into major repair kits and minor repair kits.
Among them, the minor repair kit mainly contains sealing components such as gaskets, seals, etc., which are mainly used to solve minor leakage or wear problems of the transmission. The major repair kit adds components such as clutch plates and steel plates on the basis of the minor repair kit to deal with more complex transmission failures.
V-autos stocks an extensive range of CVT parts including CVT bearings and CVT pulleys, Dual clutches for DSG and DCT applications along with complete rebuild kits for automatic transmissions. We source transmission kits, frictions, filters and seals from the worlds leading OE and aftermarket manufacturers.
