Gearbox repairs & rebuilds.
From the feel of each gear change to the power reaching the road, the gearbox shapes how a classic drives. We repair and rebuild manual and automatic transmissions.
Crisp shifts, built to last.
Over time, wear, age and long spells of standing can cause slipping gears, noisy operation or difficulty shifting. Proper gearbox care is vital to preserve both the performance and the authenticity of your car.
Our process includes careful disassembly, cleaning and inspection of every component. Worn or damaged parts are replaced with high-quality or original-spec parts, and every gearbox is reassembled with precision for smooth, reliable operation.
Whether it’s returning a period-correct gearbox to factory condition or discreetly improving reliability for modern driving, we bring the same craftsmanship to the job. Where original parts can’t be found, we recommend suitable modern alternatives.

When to bring it in.
Slipping gears
A gearbox that jumps out of gear or slips under load usually has worn internals that only get worse with use.
Noisy operation
Whining, grinding or clunking from the gearbox is often the first sign of worn bearings, gears or synchromesh.
Difficult shifting
Stiff, notchy or reluctant gear changes can come from the gearbox itself or its linkage, and both are worth checking early.
