Toyota Avensis: gearbox repair tips

How to repair a Toyota Avensis gearbox? Maintenance, repair or replacement of your gearbox, EDEN BOITES tells you everything! 

What are the special features of the Toyota Avensis gearbox?

The Toyota Avensis offers users a choice between two main types of gearbox: manual and automatic. Obviously, the type of gearbox depends on the model, version, year of manufacture and market trends. 

5-speed manual transmissions such as the Toyota Avensis 1.8 petrol gear box offer drivers direct control over gear changes, while automatics provide smoother, more practical driving in urban environments. There are also variants such as hybrid transmission technologies, combining a petrol engine with an electric motor. 

Whether manual, automatic or hybrid, the gearbox in the Toyota Avensis is solidly built and reliable. However, no mechanism is immune to failure, which is why EDEN BOITES gives you tips on how to detect any signs of wear.

When should I repair the transmission in my Toyota Avensis?

Whatever the type of gearbox in your Toyota Avensis, it's vital to keep it well maintained. There are a few signs that your gearbox may need repair: 

• Transmission oil leak: if you see oil leaking onto the ground below your gearbox, it's obviously transmission oil. In the event of a leak, the vehicle must be immobilized until the damage has been repaired, otherwise much more serious damage may result;
• Unusual noise: an abnormal sound when shifting gears? A squeaking, rubbing or rattling noise may be due to a lack of lubrication in the gearbox mechanism;
• Resistance when shifting gears: driving difficulties caused by resistance in the gearshift lever often indicate a low transmission oil level or a clutch in poor condition.

All the steps to repair a Toyota Avensis gearbox 

To begin with, it's vital toidentify your gearbox's symptoms in detail. From a technical point of view, you'll first need to gain access to the gearbox by lifting the car using stanchions or a bridge, and then drain your gearbox.

Caution: it is essential to ensure the vehicle's stability and your safety!

Be sure to disconnect your vehicle's battery and detach all components: protective housing, exhaust system, bolts and so on. Don't forget that in some cases, especially for manual gearboxes, it may be necessary to disassemble the entire clutch to facilitate access to the gearbox. 

Once the area is clear, locate any faulty components, such as bearings or SPI seals, and proceed with their replacement. Finally, reassemble the gearbox completely, fill it with a suitable oil and carry out your tests. If the gearbox no longer shows any signs of wear, you're done! 

Keep in mind that repairing or replacing a gearbox can be a complex and arduous task. In many cases, it's best to call in a professional mechanic to avoid any inconvenience and ensure your vehicle is taken care of efficiently.
