About Volkswagen Gearbox (manual)
- The Volkswagen gearbox transfers power from the engine to the wheels and enables your engine to run as efficiently as possible by controlling the number of engine revolutions. When you press the accelerator the engine revolutions increase which increases energy output.
- VW gearbox faults are generally identified by being slow to engage when you place the car into gear or clunking/humming noises from the gearbox when you change gear (especially in first or second gear). Also look out for fluid leaks from the gearbox - the fluid is usually red.
- Manual VW gearboxes put you in control, enabling you to use the whole power of the engine when you need it. Manual gearboxes were typically more efficient (as automatic engines rely on engine power to change gear) although some modern automatic gearboxes, including the VW DSG box, can be more economical than the manual versions.
