Sometimes your car gives you a few small warnings before a gearbox or diff problem turns into a proper headache.
Keep an eye - and an ear - out for things like:
* A delay when you put the car into Drive or Reverse
* Jerking or shuddering when it changes gears
* A whining, humming or grinding noise
* Revs going up, but the car isn’t really picking up speed
* Oil leaking underneath the car
* A howling or whining sound that gets louder the faster you drive
Now, before you start mentally spending your whole salary - none of these automatically mean your gearbox or diff is finished.
Sometimes it’s something much smaller, like a leak, a worn bearing or a service that’s overdue.
The important thing is not to ignore it and hope the noise magically disappears. Cars are unfortunately not great at fixing themselves.
If your car has started making a funny noise, changing gears strangely or just doesn’t feel lekker, bring it past Gearbox & Diff Centre PE and let us have a look.
No scare stories. No sommer guessing. No replacing things that don’t need replacing.
Just straight advice on what’s wrong, what needs attention and what can wait.
