Which gearbox is more durable?
The Torque converter is the most reliable automatic gearbox and regular change of transmission fluid is all it needs. CVTs also require less maintenance and changing the gearbox fluid is the recommended practice to keep it in good shape.
How many years should a gearbox last?
Exactly how long they last depends on driving conditions, whether you’re towing heavy loads and even outside temperatures.
That said, with normal driving, you could get as little as 5-7 years out of a gearbox/transmission, or it could last the lifespan of your vehicle depending on the maintenance.
How many times should I change gearbox oil?
Manual gearboxes usually require a gearbox oil change every 30,000 to 50,000 mi (48,000 to 80,000 km).
Automatic gearboxes usually have gear oil change intervals of between 60,000 to 100,000 mi (96,000 to 160,000 km). It’s advisable that you change your gearbox oil filter at the same time as your oil.
Do you need to change the clutch when changing the gearbox?
The mechanism weakens and breaks up over time, which can lead to poor starting and running. If you’re replacing the dual-mass flywheel it’s well-advised to replace the rest of the clutch, as the gearbox will be removed in any case.
Can a bad clutch damage the gearbox?
Driving On A Damaged Clutch
Not only is it very dangerous, but it can also cause further, more serious damage to your clutch and gearbox which will be expensive to repair.
