How do I know if my clutch is slipping?

The engine revs higher than usual without the car accelerating at the same rate, or you notice a burning smell or the pedal feeling different underfoot. These signs mean it's time to have Kostera take a look before the clutch fails completely.

What does it mean if my gearbox is making a grinding or whining noise?

Grinding often points to worn synchros or low gearbox oil, while whining can signal bearing wear. Either way, catching it early at the Kalamunda workshop usually means a cheaper fix than waiting for the gearbox to fail outright.

How much does a clutch replacement cost?

Cost depends on the vehicle, the parts needed and how much of the clutch assembly needs replacing, so Kostera's provides a firm quote after a hands-on inspection rather than a number over the phone. Call 08 9293 1529 to arrange a look.

How long does a clutch or transmission repair take?

A straightforward clutch replacement is often done within a day, while transmission repairs can take longer depending on parts availability and the extent of the fault. Kostera's will give a realistic timeframe once the vehicle has been assessed.

Can an automatic transmission be repaired, or does it need replacing?

Many automatic transmission faults, such as fluid leaks, sensor issues or worn seals, can be repaired without a full replacement. Kostera diagnoses the fault first, so the customer only pays for the repair the vehicle actually needs.
