Check your case – choose a symptom and compare with the description:

  • Grinding or rattling when engaging a gear – often worn synchronizers or a clutch issue; sometimes the linkage or shifter gate.
  • Gears “pop out” while driving – may be a worn fork or gear teeth; disassembly is usually required.
  • Problems engaging reverse – most often wear or misadjustment of selector, gate or linkages.
  • Clutch slip – RPM rises but the car doesn’t accelerate: worn disc or weak pressure plate.
  • Humming or vibration while driving – may be worn shaft bearings, flywheel fault or misalignment.
  • Knocking at take-off or during shifts – likely play in splines, worn driveline parts or U-joints.
  • Oil spots under the gearbox – usually leaks through seals or gaskets. Driving “dry” can seize the gearbox.
  • Idle noise that disappears when pressing the clutch – typical for a worn input-shaft bearing.
  • Gears engage stiffly – possible issues with linkages, gate or contamination in the shifter mechanism.
  • RPM fluctuation and unstable behavior during shifts – often clutch slip, worn flywheel or bad engine mounts.
Have you noticed at least one of these symptoms?

Thank you guys so much. On Saturday, 2 hours before leaving for vacation, I discovered that my front right wheel was leaking. I didn't have a glue set. We were really pressed for time. They're the only ones open on Saturdays. I called them, made an appointment and went there. Absolutely nice guys. They fixed the bike and the vacation can begin. Thank you again 👏👏

I contacted the service because of a dent on the body. They did everything quickly, the quality of work was excellent - the dent was gone.
I would like to separately mention the staff - they were polite, explained everything in detail, and did not rush me anywhere. It is obvious that they are professionals who know their business.

I am happy with the work, I recommend it!

I recently visited Bulldog Garage for an oil and oil filter change, and I was very satisfied with the service. I bought my car used, and they kindly checked it out for me for free. The mechanics were all friendly, professional, and most importantly, very patient with all my questions. The price was affordable compared to other places. I’m definitely coming back and highly recommend them. Thank you to the whole team!
