> Gearbox reconditioning cost, typical 2026 UK quotes: £800–£1,800 manual fitted, £1,500–£3,000 automatic, £400–£1,200 used. No official price list exists.

## Key facts

- No official UK source publishes gearbox reconditioning or replacement prices: there is no regulated fee and no public price list, which is why every honest figure is a range.
- Typical 2026 UK quotes to supply and fit a reconditioned manual gearbox run about £800–£1,800, against roughly £1,500–£3,000 for an automatic and £2,000–£4,000 for a dual-clutch unit, all varying widely by vehicle.
- Removing and refitting a gearbox on a common car is typically 3–8 hours of labour before any repair work, which is why the labour rate of the garage often moves the bill more than the choice of part.

## About

- Gearbox Reconditioning Cost is a free introduction service. We pass your details to at most three local gearbox specialists and garages who quote you directly, and we may receive a fee from those providers; you pay nothing and are under no obligation. We are not a garage. No official body publishes gearbox repair prices, so every figure on this site is a typical 2026 UK quote range that varies widely by vehicle, gearbox type, region and labour rate, and is not a quotation. Nothing here is legal advice.
