Known faults

1 important faults

The gearbox is new, so data on its failures is still limited. The known fault is fast wear of the synchros on the first two gears, which makes shifting grate and snag.

Show the rest

The manufacturer revised the design, and since 2022 the gearbox has been much more reliable. The oil level is worth watching, because it holds very little oil and even a small leak soon brings the level to a critical point.

What to check

  • While rolling, change down into first and second: grating means worn synchros
  • Try it from cold too: the wear is more obvious then
  • Look at the gearbox housing from underneath: it holds very little oil, so a leak turns critical fast

Information, not an expert opinion

We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.

  • A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
  • A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
  • You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
