As automotive technology continues to evolve, so does the type and structure of transmissions. The gearbox is a very important part of the transmission system of the car, and if the gearbox fails, it will have a great impact on the driving of the car. So, how much does a gearbox repair cost?Below we will analyze it in detail according to different situations.
1. Transmission failure type and maintenance cost.
1.The transmission oil temperature is too high.
Transmission oil temperature is one of the common problems of transmissions, and the cost of repairs varies from case to case. If it is because the transmission oil quality is not good or the transmission oil model is wrong, the transmission oil needs to be replaced, and the cost is about a few hundred yuan to one thousand yuan. If the gearbox radiator is clogged or damaged, the radiator needs to be replaced, and the cost ranges from several thousand yuan.
2.Transmission oil leakage.
Transmission oil leakage is also one of the common problems with transmissions, and the cost of repairs varies from case to case. If it is because the sealing gasket is damaged or the screws are loose, it needs to be replaced or tightened, and the cost is about a few hundred yuan to one thousand yuan. If the gearbox housing is damaged, the gearbox housing needs to be replaced, and the cost ranges from several thousand yuan.
3.The gearbox shifts are difficult.
Transmission shifting difficulties can be caused by damage or wear and tear of gears, synchronizers, bearings, and other components inside the gearbox. The cost of repair varies from case to case, if it is because the synchronizer or bearing and other components are damaged, the corresponding parts need to be replaced, the cost ranges from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. If the gear is seriously damaged and the gearbox gear needs to be replaced, the cost ranges from several thousand yuan.
Second, the factors affecting the maintenance cost of the gearbox.
1.Transmission model.
The cost of repairing the gearbox varies depending on the model. For example, automatic transmissions are usually more expensive to repair than manual transmissions, because the internal structure of automatic transmissions is more complex and more difficult to repair.
2.The degree of transmission failure.
Depending on the degree of transmission failure, the cost of repairs will also vary. If it is only a minor failure, the repair cost may be relatively low;If the fault is serious and more parts need to be replaced, the maintenance cost will increase accordingly.
3.The size and credibility of the repair shop.
Repair shops of different sizes and credibility charge different rates. Generally speaking, regular large repair shops charge more transparent and reasonable, while small repair shops may charge indiscriminately.
4.Regional differences.
Different regions have different levels of economic development and different levels of consumption, so there are certain differences in transmission maintenance costs. Generally speaking, the maintenance cost will be relatively high in economically developed areas.
3. How to save transmission maintenance costs.
1.Regular maintenance.
Regular maintenance of the gearbox can effectively prevent the occurrence of transmission failure, thereby reducing repair costs. In general, the service interval for automatic transmissions is 6-80,000 km, and for manual transmissions is 10-150,000 km.
2.Choose a regular repair shop.
Choosing a regular large-scale repair shop for maintenance can avoid the occurrence of arbitrary charges, and at the same time can ensure the quality of maintenance.
3.Pay attention to the quality of the oil.
The use of qualified transmission oil can effectively protect the transmission and reduce the occurrence of failures. Therefore, car owners need to pay attention to the quality of oil and avoid using inferior oil.
4.Avoid overuse.
Excessive use of the gearbox will accelerate the wear and damage of the gearbox, so the owner needs to choose the right driving style according to the actual situation.
In short, the cost of transmission repair varies from situation to situation, and car owners need to choose the appropriate repair method and repair shop for repair according to the actual situation. At the same time, it can also reduce the occurrence of transmission failure through regular maintenance, pay attention to oil quality, avoid excessive use, etc., so as to save maintenance costs.
