Types of Mercedes Gearboxes
Manual Gearboxes
Manual gearboxes give you full control over the gears. They are robust and reliable, ideal for drivers accustomed to traditional shifting or frequently driving in heavy traffic. Regular maintenance of the clutch and shifting mechanism is important.
Automatic gearboxes such as PowerShift or G-TRONIC shift independently without the need to operate the clutch. They improve driving comfort, save fuel, and reduce clutch wear. They are especially suitable for long-distance transport and international traffic.
Refurbished and Used Gearboxes
Our refurbished Mercedes gearboxes are inspected, repaired where necessary, and performance-tested. This ensures a reliable gearbox at a lower price than new, ideal for older trucks or as a replacement for a defective gearbox.
