Transmission Maintenance & Service in Barrie, Ontario

Keep your car on the road with preventative transmission maintenance

Just as you have other parts of your car serviced, your transmission needs maintenance to ensure a long life and avoid transmission problems. Our transmission service consists of a complete diagnosis of your transmission’s performance and general operation. Several of these procedures will be performed twice; once by the centre manager, and then again by a technician. This method allows double checking of your transmission’s key systems, while providing you with added assurance.

Multi-Check Inspection in Barrie, Ontario

The Mister Transmission Multi-Check Inspection includes:

  • Fluid Check
  • Road Test
  • Lift Inspection/Diagnosis
  • Pan Examination

 

Learn more about the Multi-Check Inspection:

Transmission Fluid Check

The fluid check indicates the first sign of possible wear and damage. A transmission in good condition will have a clear red fluid. If your fluid is discoloured or has unpleasant odour, this may be an indication of internal wear and damage which is occurring as you drive your vehicle. An unpleasant odour and discoloration, in combination with other symptoms, may require an internal inspection of your transmission.

Road Test

The road test consists of two segments: a stationary test and driving test, which together comprise the most detailed portion of the Multi-Check. Every position of your transmission will be thoroughly tested for slipping, noises, harsh, soft or erratic shifting, as well as late or early shift patterns.

Lift Inspection

During the lift inspection/diagnosis our technician will check the following:

  • Neutral Switch
  • Engine RPM
  • Throttle Linkage
  • Modulators
  • Transmission Mounts
  • U-Joints
  • Fluid Retention
  • Electronic Controls

This will determine if a minor adjustment will correct the problem of your transmission.

Pan Examination

The pan examination is the most important part of the Mister Transmission Multi-Check. It provides the centre manager, technician, and yourself with a partial look inside your transmission.

In all pans, there are some metal particles and friction material present. However, an excessive amount indicates internal wear and damage. If that is the case, and it is determined that a minor adjustment will not correct the problem, we will recommend Mister Transmission’s inspection service. This service will determine exactly what is wrong inside your transmission.

 

What’s Next After Your Multi-Check Inspection?

Inspection Service

Your transmission is one of the most complex systems in your vehicle, with hundreds of precision parts operating together. Determining the problem and providing a price sometimes requires removing and even dismantling your transmission. Not only will we be able to determine the problem, we’ll also be able to determine the cause to prevent any future problems.

Transmission Fluid Change Service

We also offer a transmission fluid change service to help ensure your transmission continues to operate at its best for years to come.

Victoria Williams
I apologize up front if I get long winded. I want to be as objective as possible. There are different views on everything, depending which angle are you looking at it from. And of course on your eyesight and your positive or negative personality. I don’t want to canonize or put angel wings on Al but if anyone deserves it he would be on top or close to the top of the list. Honesty and determination [stubborn] are his trademarks. We are in our early 80’s. Our car broke down 450 km from home. Don’t read it wrong. It was 38 days of stressful, sleepless nights, as much for him as for us. At times on the verge of losing hope. BUT 38 days later we have our car running like a gold medal winner marathon runner. He never gave up on fixing it or on us, making sure we had a vehicle to get around. Hopefully we won't see him again in a customer capacity but a lot as friends. [any time we’re driving by Barrie] AND just to mention; at no time ever, were there any harsh words exchanged. The motto is: treat others as you would want to be treated. John and Victoria Williams Elliot Lake.

The clutch on my 2016...
Zac
The clutch on my 2016 Ford Focus recently started leaking fluid and was unreliable to say the least. Al and his crew recognized the severity of the issue and were quick to diagnose what was wrong. It turned out to be a pretty significant repair, requiring a new clutch and flywheel. Al kept in touch throughout the whole process and even showed me the failed parts when it was time to pick up my car. The car feels brand new now. Thank you for the outstanding service!
