What to know
A failing gearbox is an expensive repair, so test it carefully. Drive the car cold and warm, and try it in reverse as well as drive.
What to check
- Smooth changes without jerks, slips or delays.
- Clean gearbox oil, on models where it can be checked.
- No delay when you shift from park to drive or reverse.
- Gearbox service records, if the car has high mileage.
Common questions
- Can I drive an automatic with a manual licence in Kenya?
- Licence rules depend on your class and any restrictions on it. Check your licence and confirm with NTSA if you are unsure.
- How do I test an automatic gearbox?
- Start with the engine cold, select each gear, then drive through the full range. Any jerking, slipping or delay is a reason to get a mechanic’s view.
