Company Background and Industry Standing


Who Is Mayfair Gearbox?

Mayfair Gearbox has been South Africa's most trusted name in gearbox and drivetrain repairs since 1991. With 19 branches across 4 countries, we combine nationwide reach with expert service and rapid turnaround. We keep over 4,000 gearbox units in stock for same-day exchange, and all our work is carried out by certified technicians using OEM-spec parts.

We're accredited to ISO 9001, SANS 10279, RMI, and AA standards, and we offer 24/7 roadside assistance, towing, and courtesy vehicles. Our diagnostic service is completely free, because we believe in giving you clarity before any work begins.

In 2014, we received global award recognition for transmission remanufacturing, placing us among a select group of suppliers capable of meeting Ford's international quality standards

Our Ford Approval: What It Means

We've held Ford approval continuously since 2009. That means we are authorised to handle transmission work across the full Ford range, including the Ford Ranger Gearbox, 6R80 transmission, 10R80 transmission, Ford EcoSport gearbox, and DSG mechatronic systems.

Our accreditation covers:

  • All drivetrain components – gearboxes, transmissions, and differentials
  • The SADC region – under Ford Motor Company South Africa
  • In-warranty work – carried out through the Ford dealer network
  • Out-of-warranty work – so Ford owners are covered regardless of vehicle age

The contracts that govern this relationship are confidential, as is standard with OEM suppliers. The use of the Ford logo is also strictly enforced under the terms of our agreement. If you need independent verification, authorised Ford dealerships or the Ford South Africa parts department can confirm our status.

Free Diagnostic Service

At Mayfair Gearbox, we believe in starting with clarity. That’s why we offer a completely free diagnostic assessment to help you understand exactly what’s going on with your vehicle before you commit to any repairs.

Ford Transmission Expertise

As the only Ford-approved facility in the region, we have deep technical expertise across the full spectrum of Ford transmissions. Every repair and remanufacturing process follows Ford's exact OEM specifications, supported by factory-grade diagnostic equipment and certified technicians.

Transmission Detail
Ford Ranger Gearbox Full diagnostic, repair, and remanufacturing for all automatic and manual Ranger variants, including six-speed and ten-speed platforms.
6R80 Transmission Specialist repair and remanufacturing for the six-speed automatic found in Ranger, Everest, and Mustang.
10R80 Transmission Complete capability for Ford's advanced ten-speed automatic, including calibration and full unit remanufacturing.
Ford EcoSport Gearbox Comprehensive transmission solutions for both automatic and manual EcoSport models.
DSG Mechatronic Advanced diagnostics and repair for DSG mechatronic units, including calibration, software updates, and full remanufacturing.

Every transmission that comes to us goes through a thorough diagnostic test to identify the root cause of the issue. Sometimes it's a simple oil contamination problem; other times it requires a full rebuild. Either way, we'll give you a clear picture before any work starts.

All transmissions we remanufacture come with a comprehensive 2-year warranty. We fit upgraded torque converters, reinforced clutch drums, and premium clutch frictions to ensure long-term reliability.

How We Work with Ford Dealers

Our Ford approval covers warranty work conducted through the Ford dealership network. When a Ford vehicle under warranty needs transmission attention, dealers can refer the work to us as the designated accredited facility. All warranty work is managed under the Ford South Africa extended warranty contract, with the same quality and reporting standards expected of the dealer network.

We also handle out-of-warranty Ford vehicles, ensuring that Ford owners continue to have access to accredited transmission specialists long after the manufacturer's warranty has expired.

Beyond Ford: Our Full Range of Services
