Top Gear Transmissions Liverpool Ltd
The Top Gear Transmissions frontage on Aigburth Road, Liverpool

Nearly 50 years of clutches and gearboxes

A family-run workshop on Aigburth Road, Liverpool, established in 1977 and approaching our 50th year.

A well-established family business

We are a family-run business with deep experience in the trade, specialising in manual transmissions since 1977. We focus on a personal, reliable and professional service, and on building long-term relationships with our customers. Our reputation has been earned through quality workmanship, attention to detail and a genuine commitment to doing right by the people who bring us their cars.

From those beginnings the company has grown into one of the largest re-manufacturers and repairers of manual transmissions in North West England. While most garages stopped opening gearboxes and differentials years ago, we kept the skills, the tooling and the parts stock, which is why so much of our work now arrives by referral.

The workshop today

Six ramps across two workshop areas, a dedicated differential bay within the main workshop, and stores holding reconditioned and checked second-hand gearboxes and parts on the shelf. The capacity is the point: it is what makes next-day clutch fitting and fast fleet turnaround possible.

The team

The workshop is staffed by time-served technicians who specialise in transmissions, supported by office staff who can answer questions about your job or your account over the phone or at the front desk.

Who trusts us

Liverpool drivers, first and foremost, many of whom have brought every car they have owned here. Alongside them we work with independent garages who send us their clutch and gearbox jobs, main dealers who use us for the work they would rather not do in-house, government bodies, and fleet operators who need vans back on the road quickly. We would rather earn that trust than claim any badge. We hold no paid-for accreditations, just 49 years of repeat business.

How we work

Diagnosis before quotes. A clear price before any work starts. No work without your authorisation. And warranties published in plain numbers rather than a vague promise that it is guaranteed:
