Transmission
From fluid top-up to minor repairs and transmission rebuilds, we are a one-stop shop for your transmission-related diagnosis and repair. Wether its automatic or manual, we recommend replacing the transmission fluid and filter (if fitted) to maintain and extend the life of its seals, bearings, clutch packs and gear sets to prevent it letting you down early in your vehicles life.
Differentials
The differential is crucial to the function of a vehicle and its ability to transmit drive around corners and is under plenty stress throughout its life. Which is why its important to replace the oil during regular services to keep the differential and its components clean and operating smoothly.
At Motive we can service, inspect, diagnose and repair all types of differentials found in any make and model vehicle.
