Gearbox King prices for 2026
The gearbox has started jerking. Now there's the bill to think about. Most full overhauls at Gearbox King sit between $2,050 and $2,950 and carry a 2-year, 40,000km warranty. A reconditioned DQ200 mechatronics replacement is $1,250 to $1,550 fitted. The fault decides which job you need.

Our usual band covers most Japanese, Korean and continental automatics. Allow more for a hybrid or dual-clutch gearbox.
Your full overhaul is covered for two years or 40,000km, whichever comes first. The term is set out on your written quote.
A rough shift alone tells you little about the cost. We find the cause, then quote for the work it needs. An isolated component fault can mean a much smaller bill than a full overhaul.
If the gearbox has left the car stranded, send us its location. We'll arrange collection. Towing for gearbox repairs is free across Singapore.
my Mazda CX-5 gearbox began jerking when car is cold so I asked around and found this shop. They performed a full overhaul on the transmission. The SUV now changes gears smoothly during normal driving. Service was completed on time and the final bill matched the initial quote.

WhatsApp usThese are Gearbox King's own quote bands, current as of September 2026. They come from the jobs we quote; we have not surveyed the market. Each figure allows about $150 either side of what we usually quote for that group. The gearbox variant and model year affect the cost. So does the damage inside. Your written quote after diagnosis is the firm figure.

Most of this guide deals with full overhauls because they account for the larger bills. An isolated fault in a component usually costs much less to put right. We check the gearbox before recommending the work. A rough shift has enough possible causes without adding guesswork to the bill.
A full overhaul starts with the gearbox out of the car and stripped on the bench. We replace the consumables inside, including the clutches, seals and gaskets. Fresh transmission oil and a new filter are part of the job. Worn hard parts are replaced with quality components before the gearbox is rebuilt. The full overhaul carries our 2-year, 40,000km warranty. Our gearbox overhaul guide explains the work.
Gearbox type has a large bearing on the price. In our quotes, CVTs generally sit above conventional automatics. Hybrid and dual-clutch units tend to cost more again. The model year matters too, with newer versions usually dearer to rebuild.
The make rows use the middle half of our quotes, with $150 added either side. Where we have fewer than eight quotes for a make, we use their full spread and widen it the same way. Check the notes for models that fall outside the main band.

A mechatronics fault can make a dual-clutch gearbox shift badly or refuse to engage. This unit controls the shifts through its electronics and hydraulics. Once we confirm the fault, we replace the unit with the correct reconditioned or brand-new option. Coding and adaptation match it to the car. Our mechatronics service guide explains the replacement process.
| Gearbox | Unit | Price | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT 7-speed dry-clutch DSG (DQ200) | Reconditioned | $1,250 to $1,550 | 6 months / 10,000km |
| Reconditioned, longer cover | $1,650 to $1,950 | 18 months / 30,000km | |
| Brand new | $3,830 to $4,130 | 6 months / 10,000km | |
| Brand new, longer cover | $4,210 to $4,510 | 18 months / 30,000km | |
| VW group 6-speed and 7-speed wet-clutch DSG (DQ250, DQ500) | Reconditioned, fitted and programmed | $2,250 to $2,550 | Confirmed on your quote |
| VW group 7-speed wet-clutch DSG (DQ381, 2017 on) | Reconditioned | Quoted after diagnosis | Confirmed on your quote |
| MG HS 7-speed DCT | Reconditioned | $2,150 to $2,450 | Confirmed on your quote |
| DQ200 dual-clutch pack | Replacement clutch pack | $1,350 to $1,950 | 1 year / 20,000km |
DQ200 unit prices include installation. Installation and basic programming are included in the DQ250 and DQ500 price. A car that stalls or will not start may need additional programming. We quote for that work before it begins.
Which DSG is in your car? Treat these as the usual fitments. The same model can have a different gearbox depending on the engine, the year and the market. We confirm the unit code on the car before quoting.
A dual-clutch gearbox has its own costly faults, including the mechatronics unit and clutch pack. Work on these gearboxes often costs more than on a conventional automatic. Comparing quotes gets messy when they refer to different units. The lists show the usual fitments. A model can change gearbox with the engine, the year and the market. We confirm the unit on the car before quoting.
Dual-clutch:
Not dual-clutch, whatever the forum said:
Getting the car here needn't add to the bill. Towing for gearbox repairs is free anywhere in Singapore. Instalment plans are available through Atome, Grab Paylater and Shopee Paylater.
A targeted repair makes sense when the fault is isolated and the rest of the gearbox is sound. In that case it is usually the cheapest option. We confirm the cover for the job on your written quote. Our gearbox repair guide explains this approach.
A full overhaul deals with wear throughout the gearbox. We strip it and replace the parts that wear, then rebuild it. This is often the right choice when the damage extends beyond an isolated component. Every full overhaul carries a 2-year, 40,000km warranty. Read about the full overhaul process to see what is involved.
A used gearbox brings its previous life with it. You may know little about how it was driven or how much wear is inside. A lower purchase price can lose its appeal if the replacement needs work as well. We favour rebuilding your own gearbox when its condition makes that the right job.
Servicing helps keep the gearbox in good order. Fresh oil is routine maintenance; an existing mechanical fault still needs diagnosis. Our gearbox servicing guide covers the maintenance work.
The fault sets the cost. At Gearbox King, a full overhaul on most Japanese, Korean and continental automatics sits at $2,050 to $2,950. It carries a 2-year, 40,000km warranty. Hybrid and dual-clutch overhauls generally cost more. An isolated component repair usually costs well below a full overhaul. We confirm what has failed and give you a written quote after diagnosis.
Our usual bands are $2,050 to $2,750 for Japanese and Korean makes and $2,450 to $2,950 for continental makes. Hybrid transaxles sit at $2,850 to $3,650. Dual-clutch and PDK units sit at $3,350 to $5,650. Each band allows about $150 either side of what Gearbox King usually quotes for that group. A full overhaul carries a 2-year, 40,000km warranty.
A repair is usually the lower-cost choice when the fault is isolated and the rest of the gearbox is healthy. Widespread wear calls for an overhaul. A used replacement can have a lower purchase price, though its wear may leave you paying for more work later. A brand-new gearbox from the dealer is generally the most expensive route. We assess yours and explain which option fits the damage.
Most gearbox faults can be put right. Worn internal parts can be replaced during a rebuild. A failed mechatronics unit is replaced as a unit. Damage to the casing or hard parts after oil loss can make the job less viable. We inspect the gearbox to establish what can be rebuilt and what that work will cost.
Usually less than an overhaul. For example, a fitted reconditioned DQ200 mechatronics unit falls at $1,250 to $1,550 with the 6-month, 10,000km option. The 18-month, 30,000km option is $1,650 to $1,950. We price valve body and torque converter work after diagnosis. The unit fitted and the damage found determine the quote.
The 7-speed dry-clutch DQ200 used in VW, Audi, Skoda and SEAT models has reconditioned and brand-new options. A reconditioned unit is $1,250 to $1,550 with a 6-month, 10,000km warranty, or $1,650 to $1,950 with an 18-month, 30,000km warranty. The brand-new bands are $3,830 to $4,130 and $4,210 to $4,510 respectively, on the same terms. DQ200 unit prices include installation. For the wet-clutch DQ250 and DQ500, a reconditioned unit is $2,250 to $2,550 including installation and basic programming. Cover for those units is confirmed on your written quote.
The bands reflect our usual quotes for each group. Your gearbox may differ from the common fitment, or the damage may be more extensive. CVTs and hybrids can sit higher, as can newer models. Driving on with a fault can also add to the work. We explain the difference on your written quote. You decide before work begins.
