What Sinspeed repairs, and what it does not
Sinspeed does not rebuild, recondition or supply manual gearboxes. Worn bearings, gears, synchros and shafts are mechanical work for a gearbox specialist or your garage. What we repair are the electronic units that run automatic and automated gearboxes: transmission control modules, mechatronic units and clutch and gear actuators, whose faults are routinely mistaken for a worn-out gearbox. If you are not sure which kind of fault you have, contact us and we will tell you plainly.
