In recent years there has been a massive increase in the number of automatic cars on Irish roads. As most people know, the main difference between manual transmission cars and automatic transmission cars is the lack of the clutch pedal and the gearshift. 

Your car's transmission, or gearbox, is one of its most vital parts, and even though many of us can use one but very few actually know how a manual transmission works. At Bohernabreena Gearbox Centre, we believe that if you know how your transmission works then you will be more likely to use the gearbox effectively and maintain it in a safe, working order.

If you drive a manual transmission car then you are well aware of the clutch pedal. The clutch controls the spin of the flywheel and disengage the wheels from then engine while it is still running. In simpler terms, the clutch lets you change gears.
Because of the friction crated by the clutch it can become worn down and won’t work efficiently. Your car will tell you when your clutch is on its way out and should be replaced. Ignoring these signs could result in costly damage down the line.
