Common GR6 Problems
What's wrong with your R35 transmission?
The R35's dual-clutch GR6 has a handful of failure modes we see often. The symptoms:
Shuddering on take-off
Likely cause: Worn clutch packs, contaminated transmission fluid, or low fluid pressure
Slipping under load
Likely cause: Clutch packs at end of life, solenoid issues, or tune outrunning the clutch capacity
Skipping or missing gears
Likely cause: Valve body wear, solenoid faults, or mechatronic issues
Harsh or jerky shifts
Likely cause: Clutch fluid degradation, worn clutch packs, or shift calibration drift
Hard launch failures
Likely cause: Launch control programming, worn clutches, or supporting hardware not rated for the launch
Transmission fault codes
Likely cause: Sensor faults, mechatronic issues, or internal hydraulic failures
Not sure what's wrong? Bring it in. GR6 diagnostics is what we do. We'll scan, pressure-test, road-test, and quote only what your box actually needs.

FAQ
Common questions
- How much does a GR6 transmission rebuild cost?
- Depends on what's needed. A clutch pack replacement costs significantly less than a full rebuild. After diagnosis we'll give you a written quote with no surprises.
- How long will my R35 be off the road?
- Depends on the work. Clutch pack replacement is a few days. A full rebuild takes longer. We'll confirm timing once we've diagnosed your box and ordered any parts needed.
- My GR6 is shuddering — does it need a rebuild?
- Not necessarily. Shuddering can come from contaminated transmission fluid, low clutch pressure, or worn clutch packs. We diagnose before quoting work. Sometimes a fluid service and adaptation reset clears it up.
- Do you work on R35s from regional Victoria?
- Yes. We see R35 owners from across Melbourne and regional Victoria. We're at 8-10 Molan St, Ringwood VIC — easy access from EastLink and the Eastern Freeway.
- Do you offer a warranty on your work?
- Yes. We warranty our parts and labour on all GR6 work. The factory warranty side depends on your car's age and history. We'll cover that in writing before any work starts.
- Can I tow my R35 to you?
- Yes. We can arrange transport if your R35 isn't drivable. Or come in via tow truck directly. Call ahead so we can have a bay ready.

"Really pleased with the service at Revzone. Jeff was very prompt and patient with his email responses to my queries and I love what they've done to my 86. Pricing was fair and service was great."

"I came to RevZone with my 2017 STi after Subaru either couldn’t fix my issue—or couldn’t understand it. (Let’s just say “dealer-level expertise” didn’t exactly inspire confidence.) It was genuinely refreshing to deal with people who understood performance cars, not just dealer-level servicing, and didn’t treat me like I’d just learned what a spark plug was. I started bringing my car here for logbook servicing while they worked through the problem. It took time, patience, and plenty of trial and error, but we eventually nailed the issue—much to my relief (and probably theirs). Over more than seven years, they kept my STi in top shape until I moved interstate. Even then, they went above and beyond—helping me find another trusted mechanic through their contacts and even providing a quote for a price comparison. If you want honest, capable, and car-obsessed people working on your pride and joy, RevZone is your place."
