Transmission Service & Repair Ilford
Gearbox diagnostics, servicing and repair
UK Motor Centre Ltd handles manual, automatic, DSG/DCT and CVT gearboxes. We start with proper diagnostics (live data, pressure tests, road test), then advise on the most cost-effective fix — from fluid exchange and software adaptations to mechatronics or clutch/DMF replacement. Transparent quotes, OE-spec fluids and warranty-backed parts.
Common symptoms
- Slipping, flare or harsh/jerky changes
- Delay into drive/reverse, PRNDS flashing
- Whining, buzzing or clonks under load
- Vibration, shudder or judder (e.g., DSG/CVT)
- Leaks or burning smell from ATF
Don’t keep driving on a slipping gearbox — it can multiply the repair bill.

Transmission FAQs
- Which transmissions do you work on?
- Manual, automatic torque-converter, DSG/DCT (wet & dry clutch), CVT and automated manuals. We diagnose, service and repair most makes.
- Do you do transmission fluid changes & flushes?
- Yes. We use machine-assisted fluid exchange with the correct spec ATF/gear oil and reset/adaptations where the manufacturer requires it.
- Signs my gearbox needs attention?
- Jerky or slipping shifts, delayed engagement, whining/buzzing, vibrations, leaks, burning smell, PRNDS flashing, or fault codes.
- Can you repair mechatronics/valve bodies?
- We test electrically and hydraulically and can repair or replace valve bodies/mechatronics and perform coding/adaptations.
- Will a service fix my issue?
- A fluid service often improves shift quality and longevity, but mechanical faults (clutches/bands, bearings, solenoids) may need repair or replacement.
