ABOUT OUR GEARBOX GARAGE
Gearbox repairs and gearbox replacement is a specialist field not undertaken by the majority of mechanical garages.
This means that finding a solution to your gearbox problem can be difficult if you don't speak to the right people. We try to keep the process as simple as possible and aim to get you back on the road in the most cost-effective way.
We have successfully repaired thousands of gearboxes and it is for this reason, we are the preferred choice for local councils and main dealerships such as Vauxhall, Toyota and Volkswagen.

FPT C635 DDCT FAULTS
Issues that we have currently seen at Eco Torque are clutch failure and shimming irregularities.
Dry clutch systems by design, will require the clutch pack to be replaced at some point within its lifespan. However we do see a shorter clutch service life on some vehicles compared to others.
Shimming issues from factory are also another issue we have come across. Incorrect shimming of the bearings can drastically reduce the lifespan of the gearbox.
