Skoda Praktik Gearbox Slipping
Summary of the thread
A 2008 Skoda Praktik is experiencing gearbox slipping and unsmooth shifts, suspected to be a transfer case issue possibly due to mechanical wear. The problem might involve worn gears or insufficient transfer case oil. It is suggested to have a workshop inspect the transfer case, as a simple oil change may not resolve the issue if there is gear damage.

I'm not sure about the oil change history. I bought the car used. How would I check the transfer case oil? Is it like checking the engine oil?

Checking transfer case oil is similar to engine oil, but often requires a specific wrench. Gear grinding confirms mechanical wear. Slipping is like a worn clutch. Probably best to have a workshop inspect the transfer case. A simple oil change may not fix it if the gears are damaged.

Okay, thanks for the help. Had it checked and it was indeed the transfer case. Quoted 330€ for the repair. Guess it's like a leaky faucet, gotta fix it.

Sounds like a transfer case issue. When was the last transfer case oil change? Could be worn gears. Is the gear grinding noise constant, or only when shifting?
