Is your Ford showing any of these?
Ford automatic and PowerShift gearboxes give plenty of warning before they fail. Caught early, most of these faults can be fixed with a targeted repair rather than a full replacement.
Judder pulling away
A shudder from a standstill or in slow traffic. Common on PowerShift dual-clutch gearboxes as the clutches wear.
Hesitation or jerking
A delay, then a lurch, when you pull away or change gear. Often clutch, actuator or control unit related.
Transmission warning
A "transmission malfunction" message or a gearbox light on the dash, sometimes with limp mode.
Harsh or delayed shifts
A thump into Drive or Reverse on the Ranger's automatic, or a pause before it engages.
Slipping or flaring revs
Revs rise but the car doesn't pick up. Usually worn clutch packs or torque converter wear.
Loss of drive
The car won't move in Drive or Reverse. Stop driving it; we can talk you through collection or recovery.

A new gearbox isn't always the answer
Main dealer quotes for a replacement Ford gearbox often run into thousands of pounds. In many cases the fault is a single part, such as a clutch pack, actuator or control module, that can be repaired or rebuilt for a fraction of that.
We run a full diagnostic first and only recommend what's needed, with a clear quote before any work begins.

Ford gearbox repair FAQs
How much does a Ford gearbox repair cost?
It depends on the fault. A targeted repair costs far less than a rebuild, and a rebuild costs far less than a new gearbox. We give you an initial estimate on the phone and a confirmed quote after diagnosis, before any work starts.
Can a Ford PowerShift gearbox be repaired?
In most cases, yes. Depending on the fault, the fix might be a clutch pack, actuator or control unit repair, followed by recalibration. We diagnose it first so you only pay for what is actually needed.
Can I keep driving with a gearbox warning light?
We don't recommend it. Driving on a known gearbox fault can turn a small repair into a full rebuild. If the car feels different or the warning is on, get it checked as soon as you can.
Can you collect my Ford if it won't drive?
Yes. Tell us where the car is and whether it can be driven, and we'll explain the collection or recovery options. Collection and delivery is included on repairs over £1,500, subject to our terms.
Will the repair protect my existing warranty?
We fit OEM or manufacturer warranty-approved parts, and we work with major UK warranty providers. Let us know about your warranty at the start so we can help with the claim where your policy allows.
What guarantee do I get?
Every Ford gearbox repair and rebuild is guaranteed for 12 months or 12,000 miles on parts and labour.
How long will my Ford be off the road?
Diagnostic findings are usually ready within 2 to 3 days of collection. Repair time depends on the fault and parts, and we'll give you a time estimate with your quote.
