Symptom on MK roads | Likely Cause | Action We Take |
|---|---|---|
Grinding when selecting 2nd or 3rd | Worn synchro rings | Strip & replace synchros |
Whining at 30–50 mph on grid roads | Failing output bearings | Re-bearing or rebuild |
Gear lever pops out under load | Worn selector fork / detent | Replace fork, reset linkages |
Delay or flare between gears (autos) | Valve-body fault / worn clutch packs | Pressure test, repair or replace |
Milky gearbox oil after floods | Water ingress via breather | Flush, reseal, refill OE fluid |
Local tip: Flooded underpasses on the H6 Childs Way often cause water ingress—get a quick inspection if you’ve driven through standing water.
