Clutch & Transmission Repairs in Masterton
Manual and automatic transmission servicing, clutch replacements, CV joints, and differential repairs.
Whether your clutch is slipping, your gearbox is crunching, or you've got a clicking CV joint, My Vehicle Maintenance in Masterton has the expertise to get your drivetrain working properly again. We service and repair both manual and automatic transmissions, replace worn clutches, rebuild CV joints, and carry out differential maintenance. Catching transmission issues early often saves a straightforward repair from becoming a full gearbox rebuild, so if something doesn't feel right when you're shifting or you hear unusual noises from underneath, bring it in sooner rather than later.

Clutch & Transmission FAQs
Signs include the engine revving higher than normal without the car accelerating (slipping), difficulty getting into gear, a high or low clutch bite point, juddering when pulling away, or a burning smell. If you notice any of these, get it checked before further damage occurs.
A clicking noise on tight turns is almost always a worn outer CV joint. It's a common issue on front-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles. Replacing the CV joint early prevents it from failing completely, which could leave you stranded.
Most manufacturers recommend every 40,000 to 80,000 kilometres, but it varies by vehicle. Regular fluid changes keep the transmission running smoothly and can significantly extend its life. We'll check your manufacturer's recommendation.
Yes. CVT transmissions require specific fluid types and have their own service intervals. We service CVTs fitted to popular NZ vehicles including Subaru, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda models.
