Manual Transmission Service & Repair Calgary, Alberta

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

I brought my car in...
Victoria Basile
I brought my car in yesterday for a transmission leak, and I had a great experience with Mister Transmission! I appreciated that the quote process was free, and it was quick and easy to book my car in after quoting. Prices were reasonable and competitive. The job was done in a day, and everything was smooth and efficient. Special shoutout to the lovely receptionist who was dealing with and addressing multiple people speaking to her at once with professionalism and kindness, while managing the phone and taking my payment. Insane multitasking skills that I couldn’t even imagine having. She deserves a raise!

Brought in my 2014 F-150 with a transmission concern. Kris and the team were upfront about what was needed and what wasn't, and completed the repair cleanly and professionally. After 30+ days of varied driving including cold starts and extended sits, pulling trailer, city driving, the truck is shifting perfectly. Honest shop, fair price, no unnecessary upsells. Highly recommend Kris and the team at Mister Transmission. There is a reason this shop is so busy!

Ken Jarvis
I’ve seen how Kris treats his customers, very honest and accommodating, if the vehicle is not worth the cost of fixing. He tells them straight up. They make the decision not Kris. When I want an honest opinion or clarification that everything is good before the warranty from the manufacturer expires, I take it to Kris. Thank you so much for your service and professionalism 👍👍
