Why garages send their gearbox work to us
- 49 years of transmissions. Established 1977 and approaching our 50th year, one of the largest re-manufacturers of manual transmissions in the North West.
- Six ramps, two workshops. Real capacity, which is why same-day appointments are usually possible, and why dealers use us for overflow.
- Reconditioned gearboxes on the shelf. Stripped, rebuilt and checked in-house, with a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty in writing.
- The parts the manufacturers fit. LUK, Valeo, Exedy and Sachs by name, not vague “quality parts”.

Frequently asked questions
What does Top Gear Transmissions specialise in?
Manual transmissions: clutches, gearboxes and differentials, repaired, reconditioned and replaced. We are one of the North West's largest manual gearbox re-manufacturers, and we also handle car servicing and brakes, so most jobs are sorted under one roof.
Do you offer same-day appointments?
Usually, yes. With six ramps across two workshop areas we can normally find space the same day you call. Ring first on 0151 726 1777 and we will hold a ramp for you.
Which areas do you cover?
We are on Aigburth Road in south Liverpool and serve the whole city, Merseyside and the North West. For specialist work like differentials and reconditioned gearboxes, customers regularly travel to us from much further afield.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, with terms in plain numbers: 12 months or 12,000 miles on reconditioned gearboxes and clutches, 3 months on repairs, and 28 days on checked low-mileage second-hand gearboxes. All servicing work and parts are guaranteed too.
