In plain English
Looking after the gearbox and clutch, the parts that carry engine power to the wheels, with fluid changes, leak repairs and fault diagnosis.
Regular transmission care, meaning fluid changes and inspections, heads off costly repairs and keeps gear shifts smooth and fuel use efficient. It is the difference between a gearbox that lasts and one that strands you.
Booking
Standard booking. Call or WhatsApp to schedule an inspection or service.

What's covered
Everything included
Old fluid is drained and replaced, restoring proper lubrication and cooling. It removes the contaminants that cause wear on internal components and shorten transmission life.
The filter traps debris and contaminants from the fluid. Replacing it regularly keeps fluid circulation clean and protects transmission components.
Finding and fixing leaks prevents fluid loss, which otherwise leads to overheating, poor shifting and damage to internal components.
Diagnostic tools identify erratic shifting, slipping gears or warning lights, so problems are caught early and repaired before they spread.
Correct levels matter in both directions. Low fluid causes overheating and premature wear, while overfilling causes foaming and poor lubrication.
Colour, odour and consistency are assessed to spot degradation, contamination or overheating while there's still time to act on it.
Worn or damaged seals are replaced to stop fluid leaks and maintain the integrity of the transmission system.
Mounts secure the transmission to the vehicle. New mounts reduce vibration, noise and stress on components, keeping operation smooth.

Identifying fluid degradation, contamination or overheating during condition inspection
Renewing worn seals and mounts for smooth operation and a longer transmission lifespan
Questions
Transmission & Clutch, answered
The symptoms overlap, which is exactly why diagnosis matters before parts are ordered. A high or slipping bite point usually points to the clutch; harsh or delayed shifts on an automatic more often point to fluid condition or the control system. We test before we quote.
Yes. Fluid degrades and picks up contaminants that accelerate wear on internal components. A flush and filter change maintains proper lubrication, cooling and smooth shifting, and is far cheaper than a rebuild.
Treat it as urgent. Losing transmission fluid leads to overheating, poor shifting and damage to internal components. Catching a leak early is usually a seal; leaving it can mean the gearbox.
