New gearbox V12v

[vpr]

Anyone else had gearbox issues with theirs.? Hoping it was a one off or I’ll be worried about it happening again.

Mine has done 9500 miles, 2013 car.

I noticed a whine in top gear underskifht load even when the wife wasn’t in the car.

Inspected by Aston and replace within 4 days. Gotta say, a superb service from AM Sevenoaks. All under warranty.

Also the 2nd gear crunch has gone though not sure if it’ll still donit when cold weather returns but mine seemed to do it all the time. Gearbox generally feels much slicker.

LOL.

Mine makes more of a squawking noise under load when the wife is in the passenger seat, but is quiet at all other times. No crunch, thankfully.

Glad to hear it was fixed. Haven't heard of too many V12 gearbox problems, so hopefully a one off.

Never heard of gearbox problems on V12 Vantage.
Was your car still under warranty or was it repaired under goodwill?

My 2013 V12V 6th cog had a whining bearing noise. Strats sent a sound file to Gaydon and they sent a brand new gearbox.
Weird considering it has only 8k on it.
Still, glad it was under warranty.

Yes thankfully under used car program

Interesting that yours also had the whine in 6th. Must be a bit more common.

I was told and I think I asked on here re the 2nd gear crunch when cold. Think I was told it’s std.

Reckon it was a 10k job

It's the same gearbox as the V8V so it's not that common given the number of V8s out there. I think I've heard of 3 or 4 in the last 5 years on here and I think they were all in V12V but I guess that makes some sense given the extra torque of the V12.

My first 4.3 Vantage from 2006 had the early mods/gearbox oil change and a lovely smooth change after that until I traded it in a couple of years ago

My latest 4.7 Vantage gearbox has not been so good. From new it had a clutch at 3 yrs/30k, then the release bearing went prompting another clutch at 53k miles. the 2nd gear crunch, particularly from cold was there when I got it at 3.5 yrs/33k miles. Since the new clutch/oil its still the same, and nowhere near as nice to use as my 2006 Vantage.

The dealer test drove it before sale and changed gearbox oil after a few months at my request, and says many feel like that, its just how some are, some worse than others......
