Gearbox maintenance

22-12-2019

Is your automatic or manual gearbox broken, or is it no longer working as it should? In that case, you can choose to have it reconditioned by a specialist company. During a reconditioning process, the automatic or manual gearbox is fully inspected, and all parts are checked for wear and possible damage.

If your automatic transmission or gearbox is severely worn or genuinely broken and can no longer be repaired, you can choose a new or reconditioned transmission.

A reconditioned transmission is the cheapest solution. You receive a “used” automatic or manual gearbox that has been fully checked. In most cases, it functions just as well as a new transmission.

To make sure your reconditioned transmission shifts smoothly again, you can maintain the gearbox with a Lindemann gearbox additive. In this blog, we explain more about the different types of gearbox additives.

Gearbox additive

Lindemann gearbox products stand for quality. Lindemann transmission additives are based on Teflon / P.T.F.E. This material has excellent friction-reducing and protective properties. The Teflon helps components work more efficiently and also provides long-lasting protection.

Lindemann offers oil additives for both automatic and manual gearboxes. A gearbox needs proper maintenance, and this can be done with these high-quality gearbox additives. The additives can easily be added to the gearbox oil.

Manual gearbox

Lindemann Manual Gearbox Treatment has been specially developed to make shifting smoother in manual gearboxes, differentials and/or rear axles.

Thanks to its unique formula and composition, including Teflon / P.T.F.E., friction is reduced by up to 50%. This results in a gearbox that works more efficiently and shifts more smoothly.

Users of Manual Gearbox Treatment are very satisfied with the performance and quality of this product.

Automatic transmission

Lindemann Automatic Transmission Treatment is suitable for automatic transmissions. The product improves and protects the automatic gearbox against high temperatures and wear.

In addition to all protective additives, Lindemann Automatic Transmission Treatment also contains sealing elements that help solve minor oil leaks in automatic transmissions. With this product, the automatic gearbox will shift more smoothly again.

Ultimately, the goal is to extend the lifespan of the automatic transmission.

For oil leakage in the gearbox, Lindemann offers Oil Stop Leak. This additive can be used in engines, manual gearboxes and differentials. The Lindemann Oil Stop Leak formula is unique in the additives market.
