Customer Case Study.
A driver from Crawley contacted A1 Premier Transmissions after their dual-clutch vehicle began hesitating when pulling away and occasionally failed to select a gear.
The fault initially appeared only during stop-start driving but became increasingly frequent, making journeys around Crawley unpredictable and raising concerns about a complete transmission failure.

The assessment identified a failing clutch actuator that was no longer controlling clutch engagement consistently.
Our diagnosis identified:
Our Repair Solution
The defective actuator was repaired or replaced as required, and the surrounding clutch-control system was inspected for associated wear.
Our technicians then completed the necessary transmission adaptations and calibration procedures before testing the vehicle under a range of driving conditions.
Following the repair and recalibration, the gearbox selected gears consistently and the hesitation when pulling away was eliminated.
The customer was able to resume everyday driving throughout Crawley with smooth, predictable transmission performance and renewed confidence in the vehicle.

Delayed gear selection can be caused by low hydraulic pressure, clutch actuator faults, mechatronic issues, worn internal gearbox components or electronic transmission problems. A specialist gearbox diagnosis is the best way to identify the exact cause.
A clutch actuator controls clutch engagement in many DSG and dual-clutch transmissions. If it develops a fault, you may experience hesitation, difficulty selecting gears, warning lights or intermittent loss of drive. In many cases, the actuator can be repaired or replaced without replacing the complete gearbox.
Intermittent loss of drive is commonly linked to clutch actuator faults, mechatronic issues, hydraulic pressure loss or electronic transmission control problems. Continuing to drive with these symptoms can lead to additional gearbox damage, so early diagnosis is recommended.
Yes. Electronic gearbox faults often trigger warning lights only when the fault occurs. Even if the warning light disappears, the underlying problem should still be professionally diagnosed to prevent more serious transmission damage.
Yes. Our experienced technicians repair automatic, manual, DSG, CVT, DCT and Powershift gearboxes across a wide range of vehicle manufacturers using specialist diagnostic equipment and proven repair procedures.
