Manual Transmission Service & Repair London, 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

Super impressed with the service...
Bobby Newton
Super impressed with the service provided by Peter. After going to a smaller transmission shop twice and never really addressing all of my vehicle issues. I decided to go to a larger chain. Peter seemed like he knew what he was doing from the get go. Truck is now running smooth. Definitely under promise over delivery. Highly recommend Peter

I had an excellent experience with Mister Transmission and would absolutely recommend them. I originally took my car to a general mechanic who couldn’t find the issue and referred me to another transmission shop. That shop told me I would need a new transmission, with an estimated cost of $7,000–$9,000. After reading the great reviews, I decided to take my car here for a third opinion and to see if they could get me in sooner and am I ever glad I did! They quickly told me it didn’t seem like a transmission issue and offered to take a deeper look if I brought the car back as I had just quickly dropped in. When I did, they properly diagnosed the actual problem. It was such a relief to find out it wasn’t a transmission issue. Even though the repair wasn’t transmission-related, they were more than willing to fix it and were very upfront about my options. Peter, the owner, was incredibly kind and took the time to explain exactly what was wrong and how everything was connected. The service was honest, transparent, and completely stress-free. I’ll definitely be back and would trust them again without hesitation.

Thames Valley
I brought my Nissan NV200 work van in, because I was having acceleration/power issues and what I thought was transmission issues. The owner Peter immediately recognized that I didn’t actually have transmission issues, it was in fact, a clogged catalytic converter rather than an CVT transmission issue. He then recommended me to the appropriate specialist that had me up and running again within an hour I was back to work! Super happy with the honest service and expertise.

Brought my 2018 VW Passat in thinking I definitely had a transmission issue only to find out that it was something else. Spencer was excellent in explaining what was wrong with my car and couldn't be more friendly and offered to recommend places for the work to be done. I came away from Mr Transmission very impressed and would not hesitate to recommend them or bring my vehicle back again.
