Why Do I Need to Book an Automatic Gearbox Repair?

Ignoring an automatic gearbox repair can be costly. Driving with a faulty gearbox can increase the cost of your repair bill and also risk your safety and that of your passengers and other road users.

Your gearbox plays a crucial role in keeping your car moving. It allows you to regulate your speed, helping you accelerate and decelerate safely. Without a transmission system, your gear ratios would have to allow your car to reach its top speed. However, driving in one gear isn't very efficient and will wear the car down much faster.

Simply put, if you ignore your need for automatic gearbox repairs, your car is going to struggle to perform in the way you need it to.

How Does an Automatic Gearbox Work?

An automatic gearbox is all controlled by the car's onboard computer rather. This means that the driver doesn't need to use a clutch pedal and gearstick to regulate the speed.

While a manual gearbox works by locking and unlocking different sets of gears to the output shaft, an automatic transmission uses one set of gears to produce all the necessary gear ratios. A planetary gearset powers this.

This means that once you put your automatic car into drive, the gear changes happen automatically. As a result, many drivers prefer the ease of an automatic gearbox over a manual one.
