How can I extend the life of my Dacia Dokker gearbox?

Learn more about the features of the Dacia Dokker

Regardless of the car model selected, the Dokker's transmission is front-wheel drive: only the front wheels are driven.

The Dokker is equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox for standard versions, such as the 1.3 TCE 100 FAP ESSENTIEL, and a six-speed gearbox for the Stepway model.

Three engine options are available: petrol, diesel or bi-fuel petrol/LPG.

Using your Dokker gearbox correctly

The mechanical gearbox requires smooth driving and delicate handling of the gearshift lever. Make sure you fully depress the clutch pedal before selecting the desired gear, and gradually remove your foot from it once the gear is engaged. Similarly, shifting into neutral each time you stop the vehicle helps preserve the transmission system.

Change transmission oil regularly

For manual gearboxes, an oil change is recommended after 250,000 kilometers. However, it can be carried out as soon as unusual noises or a burning smell appear when shifting gears.

Over time, gearbox oil can degrade and lose its lubricating properties by accumulating impurities or friction residues. This leads to overheating of the transmission system and premature wear of its components. A simple oil change is all it takes to give your transmission system a new lease of life.

When should a gearbox be repaired?

Recognizing a fault

The first warning sign is gearshift resistance, which can be felt both when depressing the clutch pedal and when manipulating the gearshift lever. This may be due to worn synchros, poorly adjusted control cables or a clutch problem.

Noises such as whistling, rattling or squealing indicate insufficient transmission oil, premature wear of gearbox bearings or sprockets.

Finally, sudden changes in engine speed or a general drop in vehicle performance indicate advanced deterioration of the transmission system. It's important to intervene without delay if such signs occur.
