With dual-clutch gearboxes now being standard on most vehicles, it is now more than ever important to have a shop you can trust when it comes to servicing and repairing the mechatronics on your vehicle. That’s where Smart Vehicle Repairs come in. We have had countless hours of training and experience in dealing with common and not so common faults found with these systems. The role of mechatronics in relation to your gearbox is best described as both a part of the brain and the muscle of the system. The mechatronics is made up of numerous sensors, servos and valves which all work together in having the gearbox ready to go either up or down in gear at lightning speed. The mechatronic also controls the clutch when you drive off and come to a stop. As you would imagine, something operating at these sorts of speeds needs to be correctly maintained and calibrated so it can carry out its functions at precisely the right time. If any of these parts fail it could lead to a costly repair or worse, an accident.
