Why protect the manual gearbox?
The manual gearbox housing sits low in the underbody and can be damaged by curbs, potholes and objects on the road. Damage to the gearbox casing or oil pan can lead to fluid loss, breakdowns and expensive repairs, while a steel skid plate adds an extra layer of impact protection and helps extend the service life of the transmission on poor road surfaces.
