Hello everyone.

I am trying to understand how a gearbox works in different vehicles and why it sometimes develops issues such as noise, vibration, or difficulty shifting gears. Can someone explain the basic functioning of a gearbox in simple terms and what common signs indicate wear or failure?

I am also curious about whether regular maintenance can significantly extend its life, and what specific maintenance steps are most important.

Additionally, how do manual and automatic gearboxes differ in terms of durability and repair costs?

Any practical advice or real-world experience would be greatly appreciated as I am learning about automotive systems.

Any practical advice or real-world experience with genuine bmw parts would be greatly appreciated as I am learning about automotive systems.
thanks in advance for any help
