Supply, Service & Rebuild Support in New Zealand
 

Pacific Driveline provides technical support, servicing and rebuild capability for Tonanco marine transmissions operating in New Zealand.

Tonanco gearboxes are known for their robust construction and suitability for commercial marine applications, particularly in workboats and heavy-duty vessel installations. We support owners and operators requiring inspection, overhaul, troubleshooting and ongoing maintenance of these units.

Tonanco Transmission Services

Pacific Driveline offers full support for Tonanco marine gearboxes, including:

Full strip-down inspection to identify wear, clutch condition, gear tooth integrity and bearing performance.

Inspection & Diagnosis

Replacement of worn clutch packs, seals, bearings and hydraulic components as required.

Rebuild & Overhaul

Pressure checks and valve inspection to ensure proper clutch engagement and shift performance.

Hydraulic System Assessment

Diagnosis of slipping, delayed engagement, oil contamination and abnormal noise.

Troubleshooting

Support with genuine and OEM-quality replacement components where available.

Parts Sourcing

Dynamic Operational Testing

Where applicable, rebuilt Tonanco transmissions are run on our diesel engine-powered in-house test rig prior to reinstallation. This allows us to verify:

Correct forward and reverse engagement

Stable hydraulic pressures

Oil circulation and temperature

Leak-free operation

Smooth mechanical function

Supporting Legacy Marine Gearboxes

Many Tonanco transmissions remain in operation in New Zealand’s commercial fleet. As experienced marine transmission specialists, Pacific Driveline supports both current and legacy gearbox brands.
 

Our 25+ years of marine drivetrain experience allows us to work confidently on specialist and less common transmission models.
