Bicester is halfway between Birmingham and London, and the nearest motorway is the M40. The town is home to the UK's only hub for historic motoring excellence, with over 45 specialist automotive businesses at the Bicester Heritage site. The Vendee Drive roundabout in Bicester is notorious for accidents, so be careful if it's on your driving route. If you need public transport, Stagecoach operates most bus services, with routes including Banbury, Oxford, Brackley and Milton Keynes.
The gearbox's role is to change the speed of a vehicle. Due to the number of moving parts involved, gearbox problems are relatively common. Below are some signs to look out for and potential causes.
If your car slips out of gear, the gears are likely worn down. Low transmission fluid can cause your gearbox to be noisy in neutral, or your car may not go into gear at all. Checking the fluid level is simple, as we explain here.
When you notice your clutch dragging, this often happens when the flywheel and clutch fail to disengage. A burning smell may be due to the transmission fluid overheating. As soon as you notice these symptoms, contact a car gearbox specialist who can offer advice.
Manual gearboxes are usually easier to maintain because they are simpler; an automatic gearbox repair or semi-automatic gearbox repair requires more specialised skills, so it's essential to find the right transmission specialist.
