On IVECO Iveco Daily vehicles, as on all cars, the gearbox can sometimes experience problems and stop working, resulting in total or partial inability to use the vehicle. In this case, you'll need to open the gearbox to inspect and repair it. Not sure how to proceed? EDEN BOÎTES can help you step by step!

What are the special features of the IVECO DAILY 35C gearbox?

The vehicles in the IVECO DAILY range have many special features , both from a technical point of view and when it comes to fitting out the vans. For example, the IVECO 35c is available in Van, Chassis Cab, 4×4, CNG and 7-ton versions.

The diversity of components in the IVECO DAILY range also extends to gearboxes. The 35c is available with :

  • 5-speed manual gearbox;
  • 6-speed manual gearbox;
  • HI-MATIC 8-speed automatic transmission.

On the latest models, manual gearboxes are combined with a 2.3L engine, and require no oil change for 350,000 kilometers.

What are the signs of a gearbox problem on the IVECO DAILY 35C?

There are several signs that your gearbox may be in poor health. If, for example, you can't shift certain gears, or the gears jump around without engaging properly, it's time to check your gearbox for any linkage problems.

Likewise, if your engine runs in a vacuum after you've engaged a gear, it's possible that the transmission is no longer working properly due to a problem with the material between the clutch disc and the flywheel.

Finally, a gearbox that creaks at every gear change may be the victim of a lubrication problem. In this case, a gearbox oil change is in order.

How to maintain your IVECO gearbox to prevent damage?

As with the engine, tires and electronic systems, a vehicle's gearbox requires regular monitoring and maintenance if it is to perform its functions properly over the long term. To reduce the risk of gearbox component breakage and ensure smooth gear shifting, you should change the gearbox oil in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Ideally, the gearbox should be changed every 50,000 kilometers.

It's normal for parts such as bearings and SPI seals to deteriorate over time, but this natural wear and tear should be kept to a reasonable timeframe. Beyond this classic wear and tear, deterioration of your gearbox may also be due to an oil leak, which you can identify by :

  •  the presence of stains under your vehicle;
  • strong oil odors on start-up;
  • electronic malfunctions that prevent the gearbox from operating properly.

How to repair the gearbox on your IVECO DAILY 35C?

Repairing the gearbox on your IVECO 35C involves a number of steps, depending on the cause of the fault. If the gearbox malfunction is linked to an oil problem, all you need to do is locate the source of the leak, then drain your gear box before opening it to change the damaged seal, replace the rear housing or retighten the fuel filler cap.

If the failure is due to a linkage problem, abnormal wear of the bearings, breakage of the IVECO driveshaft or an electronic problem (in the case of automatic gearboxes), you may have to replace the entire gearbox after a standard exchange with one of the compatible models, using the services of a qualified professional.

Should your gearbox be repaired or completely replaced?

The answer to this question is simple: it all depends on the source of the fault! If your gearbox has minor discrepancies that you can remedy yourself, then all you need to do is repair it.

If, on the other hand, the failures are more serious and affect the safety of vehicle users, you'll need to call in a competent garage to replace your old gearbox completely in favor of a new or reconditioned one, such as those offered by EDEN BOÎTE at an advantageous price inclusive of tax. To keep the bill down while enjoying the benefits of a perfectly functional new gearbox, find out the model of your old gear box and consult our catalog to find the IVECO 35c gear box that's right for you, whether you're looking for a new gearbox for your IVECO New Daily IV35C12V or an IVECO 35c13 2.8 cdi gearbox.
