Transmission Maintenance & Service in Halifax, Nova Scotia

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.

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.

Why Choose Us

Lift Inspection

During the lift inspection 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

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.

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. Some of these services will require additional charges, which we will request you authorization prior to the work being performed.

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.

Getting ready to head on...
Heather O
Getting ready to head on the road for a 4.5 hour drive and the Drive light on my dash started flashing. Not wanting to end up stranded on the side of the highway I searched for somewhere to take my SUV and settled on Mister Transmission. When I pulled into the lot there was not a parking space to be found. They were swamped! I explained to the lady at the counter what was wrong and that I was travelling back home. I came to find out her name was Mandy. She had the problem diagnosed and a part located in no time. Within 2.5 hours I was out the door. She could easily have sent me on my way but knowing I was from out of town she went the extra mile and had me taken care of, in spite of the crazy day they were having at the shop. Can’t say enough good about this place. From the fast, friendly, efficient service to the cooperation and support the workers had for each other. They seemed to genuinely like each other and it really showed with the energy and atmosphere present. Thanks so much for taking care of me. Highly recommend this shop! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Heather

Mike MacCluskey
We own a Nissan Pathfinder with the dredded CVT transmissions that self destruct. Through my research there are only 2 choices in Metro. The Nissan Dealership at a premium price point, and this location of Mister Transmission for a reasonable price point. My experience with the knowledgeable staff, and level of professionalism was outstanding! They made me feel at home and answered all of my questions. Highly recommend!

We stopped in just after closing time on a Friday after we had heard a sudden unexplained loud noise in our car. The two guys who were done for the day were very friendly and happy to help explain the issue to us and ease our anxiety! Thank you!
