Looking After Your Transmission Long-Term

Good habits and regular checks go a long way towards protecting your gearbox.

Simple maintenance tips

To help your transmission last longer:

  • Keep up with regular services

  • Have the fluid checked and changed when needed

  • Fix leaks as soon as you spot them

  • Avoid aggressive driving when the car is cold

The role of log book servicing

Regular log book servicing helps keep your whole drivetrain healthy and can support warranty requirements. During a service, our team can:

  • Check transmission fluid and filters

  • Look for early signs of wear or leaks

  • Test how the car shifts on the road

Staying on top of these checks is one of the easiest ways to avoid major transmission repairs later.
