    Clear estimate process

    Before booking transmission or clutch repairs

    Note when the issue happens. For example, record whether slipping occurs under acceleration, whether gears are difficult to select when cold, or whether vibration appears when engaging the clutch.

    Share the vehicle make, model, year, odometer reading, transmission type if known and any recent repairs. If the vehicle cannot engage gears reliably, has a major fluid leak or behaves unsafely, stop driving and arrange assistance.
