Smooth Shifting & Steady Cooling
A dependable radiator and gearbox are key to a well-running vehicle. Your radiator keeps the engine at a safe temperature, while your gearbox makes sure power transfers smoothly from the engine to the wheels. When either part fails, performance suffers. That’s why choosing the right replacement matters. We supply manual and automatic gearboxes, along with radiators, hoses and cooling system components, all carefully inspected for condition and performance.
Not sure what your car needs? Bring in your rego, a quick photo, or the part number and our team can help you identify the perfect match. We’ll also share tips on maintaining the health of your cooling and transmission systems to prevent costly repairs later. Visit us in Orange or get in touch for advice on finding the right part. We’ll make sure your car stays cool and shifts smoothly for years to come.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How do I know if my radiator needs replacing?
Signs of radiator trouble include overheating, coolant leaks or a sweet smell under the bonnet. You might also notice the temperature gauge rising quickly or coolant levels dropping more than usual. A damaged or blocked radiator can’t cool the engine effectively, which can lead to serious engine damage if ignored. Replacing it promptly helps prevent costly repairs later.
What are the symptoms of gearbox problems?
Common gearbox issues include grinding noises, slipping gears, delayed shifting or vibrations when changing gears. Automatic transmissions might struggle to engage properly, while manual gearboxes may feel stiff or rough. Leaking transmission fluid or a burning smell are also warning signs. Addressing gearbox issues early can help avoid complete failure or expensive rebuilds.
Can a radiator or gearbox be repaired instead of replaced?
In some cases, yes. Minor leaks or blockages in radiators can sometimes be repaired, and gearboxes with minor wear might be serviceable. However, if there’s significant corrosion, cracking or internal damage, replacement is usually the more reliable long-term option. Always have a qualified mechanic inspect the component to determine the best approach.
