What Gearbox Issues Could You Be Experiencing?

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to talk to us:

What causes Jerky or hard gear shifts?

Your vehicle feels like it "jumps" or clunks when changing gears; this often indicates worn clutch packs, valve body issues, or low gearbox fluid pressure.

What causes Delayed Shifting or Gear Hunting?

The gearbox takes too long to change gears or keeps switching between gears unnecessarily. This can be a sign of sensor faults, hydraulic problems, or internal wear.

What causes Gearbox Warning Light On?

The transmission or check engine light has appeared on your dashboard. This signals that the vehicle’s computer has detected a fault, often before symptoms become obvious.

What causes Slipping Between Gears?

The engine revs, but the car doesn’t respond as it should, like it’s struggling to engage. Slipping is typically caused by worn clutches, solenoid issues, or fluid problems.

What causes Stuck in “Limp Mode”?

The car won’t go above a certain speed or is stuck in one gear. This is the vehicle’s protective mode, triggered when serious faults are detected in the gearbox system.

What causes Loud Noises or Grinding From Gearbox?

Hearing whining, clunking, or grinding while driving or shifting gears? These sounds usually mean internal damage, like worn gears, bearings, fluid contamination or damaged torque converter.

What causes No Drive in Forward or Reverse?

The vehicle won’t move at all when placed in gear. This could indicate severe gearbox failure, a broken input shaft, or total clutch pack wear.

We fix your gearbox problems the right way, using strict, SABS-approved methods that meet national safety and quality standards. No shortcuts. Just reliable, long-lasting results.

Why Is Reman Better Than New?

A lot of people assume “new” is better. Not always, especially with gearboxes.

A remanufactured gearbox is actually built to a higher standard. That’s because we:


1. Upgraded with the Latest Fixes:  Remanufactured gearboxes are rebuilt with the latest OEM updates and known failure point corrections, something a brand-new unit may not include if it’s from the original factory design.


2. Thoroughly Tested and Proven:  Each reman gearbox is fully stripped, cleaned, inspected, rebuilt, and dynamically tested before it’s fitted, giving peace of mind that every part is functioning as it should.


3. Cost-Effective:  You get like-new performance for a significantly lower price. No need to pay premium for “new” when the reman unit meets or exceeds factory specs.


4. Environmentally Friendly:  Remanufacturing reuses the gearbox housing and many metal components, reducing waste and environmental impact compared to manufacturing a unit from scratch.


5. Locally Supported Warranty:  Unlike some new imported gearboxes, remanufactured units from reputable suppliers (like us) come with local support and warranty, meaning faster service if there’s ever an issue.


While a new gearbox may be built from old designs, reman units correct the known flaws, meaning you’re less likely to have the same issue down the line. Better than new. Backed by Ford. Guaranteed.

Ford Ranger Gearbox

Your gearbox is essential for the smooth and safe running of your vehicle, but there may come a time when it needs to be repaired or replaced. You'll be looking for a ford ranger gearbox for sale or where to get the best ford ranger gearbox price.


Also known as a ford ranger transmission, a gearbox is part of a system which includes a vehicle’s clutch, that increases the ford ranger torque converter (turning power), while reducing the speed of the prime mover output shaft. 


Competent and robust, that's how Ford defines its off-road pickup. The Ranger, which lacks neither refinement nor dynamism, has always been ahead of its time.

What Are the Symptoms of a Gearbox-Related Problem?

Any symptom of failure or if your Ford Ranger gearbox Warning light is showing it must be considered with the utmost importance. While it is sometimes possible to carry out conventional adjustments and repairs, the gearbox may also require replacement.


Problems Shifting Gears.

Problems with shifting gears is the first thing you will notes if you are having a faulty Gearbox. If you are encountering hesitation or resistance when putting the car into gear or a jerking motion when shifting gears, this is a sign that something is wrong with the transmission system. If your car also falls out of gears while driving or shifts gears for no reason, you should take it to be looked at.


Unusual Noises.

If you hear unusual whining, buzzing or clunking noises coming from your gearbox, this is usually an indication of gearbox trouble, especially if the vehicle is excessively noisy in neutral gear. There can be other reasons for excessive noise, but they shouldn’t be ignored either way. 

Leaking Fluid.

Transmission fluid is clear red in colour, so if you notice pools or spots of red liquid on your drive, let Mayfair Gearbox take a look at it straight away. Leaking fluid doesn’t necessarily mean that your gearbox needs replacing, but a leak can cause damage to other areas of your vehicle over time. 


A Burning Smell.

A burning smell is a sign that the gears are overheating from excess friction, commonly caused by a lack of transmission fluid. The smell of burnt transmission fluid is also a sign that your gearbox is going wrong in other ways, so let Mayfair Gearbox do a Quick examination of your Ford Ranger Gearbox
