A very important role in modern cars is played by the gearbox controller. Without this inconspicuous device we will not get anywhere because our gearbox will not operate properly. The controller is also necessary in order to ensure a much longer lifetime of the gearbox by controlling oil performance in the individual elements that are found in the gearbox. Very commonly, the controller gets damaged in cars with very high mileage. Over the years, small metal particles get inside and make the box dirty leading to a drop in the pressure in it. The pressure drop means that it is only a matter of time when the element will get damaged.
