Seat Altea Diesel Gearbox Problems

My 2006 Seat Altea diesel is giving me trouble. The gearbox slips and the shifts are unclean. Could this be transfer case oil wear? I suspect defective gears, maybe even gear grinding inside.

I had a similar problem with my Seat Leon. Is the gear oil level correct? Are there any signs of oil leakage around the transfer case? Check the oil change interval too. My car had similar symptoms.

Gear oil level is fine, and I don't see any oil leakage. What was the exact issue with your Leon?

Mine was defective gears inside the transfer case, causing gear grinding. Since you don't see any oil leakage, it's probably internal gear wear. I suggest a workshop check.

The workshop visit confirmed gear wear inside the transfer case. Repair cost was 330€. Thanks for the help.
