Compare Suzuki gearbox repair quotes from specialist garages

Suzuki's first passenger car, the 360 cc Suzulight, was manufactured in 1955. Today, it is one of the world's largest car makers and, according to results from the UK Customer Satisfaction Index published in July 2023, the top brand for customer service. Suzuki saw similar success in the 2022 WhatCar? Reliability Survey, where it took the top spot with an excellent score of 97%. As well as creating cars, it also makes motorcycles - the Suzuki Hayabusa is one of the fastest in the world, with a top speed of 188-194 mph.

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.
