Astra Gearbox Slippage
Summary of the thread
A 2010 Vauxhall Astra is experiencing gearbox slippage and unclean shifting, with excessive oil wear in the transfer case, suspected to be caused by defective gears. Grinding noises during acceleration further indicate gear wear. A mechanic confirmed the issue as defective gears, leading to the oil wear and symptoms, and the repair cost was 330€.

Yes, distinct grinding during acceleration, correlating with the gear slippage. Can you elaborate on your experience, specifically regarding the correlation between the gear grinding and the transfer case oil wear?

Yep, grinding under acceleration. Pretty sure it's the same thing. I'd get it checked out by a workshop. They'll probably tell you it's gear wear in the transfer case.

I have an Astra too. Sounds like what happened to mine a while back. Is it making any grinding noises, especially when you accelerate?
