We understand how crucial a properly functioning gearbox is for your driving comfort, safety, and vehicle longevity.

Our Power-Shift gearbox service offers expert diagnostics, quality repair, and preventative maintenance to keep your automated/manual hybrid or dual-clutch system running smoothly.

A Power-Shift gearbox (also known in some makes/models as a dual-clutch or automated manual transmission) combines the efficiency of a manual gearbox with the convenience of an automatic. It uses:

  • Two clutches (one for odd gears, one for even) to allow fast, seamless gear changes

  • Mechatronics (sensors, solenoids, actuators) to control gear changes electronically

  • Specialised hydraulic systems and typically unique fluid / lubrication requirements

Because of its complexity, issues in a Power-Shift system often come from wear to the clutches, problems in the hydraulic/valve bodies, or faults in the electronics/mechatronics unit.

Bruce Cousin Motors FAQsHow much will it cost?

Costs depend heavily on how serious the issue is. For minor work the cost may be lower than a full rebuild of the gearbox or mechatronic unit replacement. We will be able to give you a detailed quote after we can diagnose the issue.

Bruce Cousin Motors FAQsHow often should a Power-Shift system have its fluid checked / changed?

Typically every 40,000-60,000 miles, but it depends on driving style, load, and climate. Dirty or burnt fluid is a common cause of early failure.

Bruce Cousin Motors FAQsIs a fluid flush the same as a repair?

No, a flush is preventative and helps maintain the system, whereas a repair means fixing faults that have already appeared. Both are important.
