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

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 👍👍

Justin Martin
Had them rebuild the 46RE transmission in my truck and they did an excellent job. They quoted me a price for the job and stuck to it. After having the truck for a day I had a check engine light because of a faulty governor pressor solenoid and called them about it. They got me back in the next day and fixed it. Its been running smooth since. Everyone is friendly to deal with and very knowledgeable.

Alison Kidd
My transmission died while travelling through Calgary. Dawn and Kris were both very kind and helpful on short notice to make arrangements to look at the issue, even though they were clearly quite busy. Once I realized how extensive the damage was, I didn't feel rushed to make a decision, and they didn't charge me anything once I decided not to go ahead with the work. They made an incredibly stressful situation manageable to deal with. Thank you!
