How to remove the manual transmission of a Hyundai Solaris car

Remove the gearbox for replacement or repair

Faults that require gearbox repair:

• - oil leakage through seals and gaskets;
• - difficult gear shifting;
• - increased noise;
• - spontaneous disengagement or poor engagement of gears.

We also remove the gearbox to replace the clutch, flywheel and crankshaft rear oil seal.

The work of removing and installing the gearbox is very laborious, so be sure to first make sure that its malfunctions are not caused by other reasons (insufficient oil level, defects in the clutch release drive, loosening of the gearbox, etc.).

The gearbox is quite heavy and has an awkward shape to hold, so we recommend removing it with an assistant.
