Manual Transmission Service & Repair Burlington, Ontario

A manual transmission has a clutch, which is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the transmission, allowing the driver to switch gears and control your driving experience. Compared to an automatic transmission, the manual transmission is mostly made up of mechanical gears that rely on the drive to shift.

Manual transmission service is essential for keeping your manual transmission in optimal condition. Transmission fluid naturally degrades over time, which is why replacing your transmission fluid is important to keep your gears shifting smoothly. How often you need to change your transmission fluid depends on the year, make and model of your vehicle, give your local Mister Transmission a call to find out when you

Common Problems for Manual Transmission

If you are experiencing any of the following problems, you should get your transmission checked as soon as possible. Recognizing these warning signs early is key to minimizing the cost of your repair as it may only require a minor repair or service

– Check engine light is on
– Clutch is slipping – when the clutch slips, the engine will rev but the car doesn’t move as it should, or sometime not at all. This could indicate a worn clutch or clutch pedal that may require a simple adjustment, rebuild or a new clutch.
– Grinding Noises
– Noisy in Neutral – If you feel your car ‘bumping’ or ‘clanging’, this could indicate your transmission fluid needs to be topped up

Katherine Wilson
I had taken my vehicle in for service to a different shop for a noise, which was fixed. However, they recommended that I needed to replace my transmission, along with a bunch of other things. I wasn't experiencing any transmission issues so decided to get a second opinion.Went to Mr. Transmission today in Burlington. They performed a diagnostic test and found no indication of transmission problems. I opted to wait for the test, very quickly done. There was no charge for this service! Very refreshing to find someone who is honest. Very pleasant experience. Thank you Mr. Transmission!

Stephen Harasymchuk
I Thought I had a problem with my transmission. I dropped off my buick verano and Alister check it out and said there wasn't anything wrong with the transmission. He believed it to be the cv axle. He was right and he could have taken me for a ride. Very honest shop and would recommend.

Craig Mason
The transmission of our Honda Fit died suddenly without warning. We took it to a different shop that charged us a diagnostic fee only to tell us they didn't want to work on it. I had it towed to Mr. Transmission in Burlington and from the first phone call with Alistair, I knew I was in very competent hands. They worked quickly on the job and had it done a day earlier than promised. Alistair kept us in the loop along the way and did a great job of explaining what went wrong and what steps needed to be taken.

Brought my car in to get a new clutch. Service was very quick and professional, answered all my questions, and gave a much better price than the dealership. Car is driving very well, like new again. Alistair and Bryan were very accommodating and informative.

Alexander Sousa
Customer service was exceptional, especially the free diagnosis. Alistair was excellent and very knowledgeable at explaining my transmission issue in detail and providing a breakdown of the problem for my vehicle in specific. Transmissions are an unfortunate expensive repair, but I was pleased with the results and my vehicle’s improved performance. My vehicle ended up being a two day fix. I highly recommend visiting Mister Transmission in Burlington instead of taking your vehicle to a dealership that will double the cost of a minor repair, just to have thicker pocket change.
