The powertrain (clutch and gearbox) is the bridge between the engine and the wheels; any fault in this area can reduce performance, increase fuel consumption, and risk serious engine damage. According to experts, regular gearbox servicing and oil changes can prevent engine seizure (“lock-up”) and avoid high repair costs. Periodic maintenance also improves gear operation and reduces friction and vibration.
At Elite Brake & Mechanical, we service both manual and automatic systems. Our goal is to improve efficiency, extend component life, and ensure a smooth, confident drive.
