Gearbox, differential and transfer case repairs

[SneakMcDaddy]

I'm also thoroughly enjoying the game as well. Every game has bugs at first. Good to see they are being fixed quickly. Still a better launch than Mass Effect Andromeda!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to be able to REBUILD a gearbox/transfer case/differential. Lets face it, in the real world, you don't throw a gearbox in the bin. you pull it to pieces, replace the bearings and gears if needed etc, and put it back together and it's working as new.

This is something I've wanted implemented since CMS14 and I'm hoping maybe it'll be looked into in CMS18

Does anyone agree or disagree?

Cheers

This post really needs a bump.

Would really like to do a gearbox/transfer case/differential rebuild!

Also on that subject, would be cool to have some automatic transmissions too, just for something a bit different

[Vellari]

Definitely. More multipart jobs (like rims+tires, shock+spring+cap) transmission parts being the obvious ones.

its kinda arbitrarily modeled in the "repair parts" function, if the box can be rebuilt its usualy a few hundred buck's with a chance you may junk it.. nice idear mind, with tuneing coming changeing cassets in box's would be handy to change ratios to match new build engine or tires ect, that said I think it kinda goes above the game scope as it it but would still be cool!

This has been a suggestion since Car Mechanic Simulator 2014, and I agree completely. I too would love to take the gearbox apart and fix specific pieces of it. I think the issue in this case is that unlike an engine, you can't just take the casing out and work on the gears while they're still attached to the engine. We'd require a separate system to work on a gearbox diconnected to the car. Up until CMS18, that wasn't possible. Here, however, we have the Engine Crane system. A similar item for a Gearbox would be very nice.

They could add some internals for the gearboxes. They could also add a fluid requirement. and Automatic transmissions...

[Beast of War]

I started topics for the same thing a few months ago.....i guess bad timing because everyone was still pre occupied with all the bugs.

I really miss this feature in the game too.....hoped it would appear for CMS 15 but that never happend. After a while all the engines and jobs are too familiar, we need something new and a bit more complex and challenging.

Besides that they could introduce automatic gearboxes aswell. A number of the cars in game would not even have manual gearboxes IRL, especially not the american ones.

I would be more then happy if this was to be a paid DLC : gearbox parts/repairs and automatic transmissiosn.

agree, we need it!

[Metallos]

We need REAL manual gears first (for driving) or an option to turn manual shifting on or off on nanual gears.

Then automatic gears, it looks weird when there is a manual gearbox under the hood and inside the car is a lever for automatic (P-R-N-D...).

Gearboxes can be repaired on the repair bench as complete unit.
Dismantle a gearbox? I think there are too much different parts (the buy system is bad enough).

In real world garages don't dismantle the gearboxes, they exchange it as a complete unit with a new or refurbished gearbox (or an used one from the junkyard).

I agree but it would need to be expert mode only or all the kids that cant work it out will get salty

First of all, the dismissive tone is unnecessary. Secondly, what's there to "figure out?" I didn't know ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about car mechanics when I bought CMS14 and I did just fine. The game highlights parts you need to remove and tells you what parts you need to buy in order to reassemble the vehicle, in what order, plus we have a full parts list. There's nothing to figure out, just follow the on-screen instructions.

[Philonious Rex]

I like the idea, I think ppl would figure it out because the game doesn't let you fail really. Would be nice if there was transmission fluid.

Also if you could still buy a whole unit, or fix it then people could choose what to do.

Lastly, there's no linkage in the game which could be interesting to add. Technically shifting can feel loose because of bad / loose linkage or even bad bushings in the shifter itself rather than the transmission.
