Manual Transmission Service & Repair

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
– Lack of Responsiveness or delays in movement

I don't usually write reviews. I had such a wonderful experience here. Still family owned. Re built my '07 Tacoma 6 spd. They took care. Unforunately my alternator failed out of the garage and they were awesome and had that replaced the next day. Truck drives like a brand new vehicle.

Very thorough and helpful. I thought I had a transmission issue, but they did an exhaustive test drive and diagnostics and reported that there was no issue. There was no charge for this. They suggested I see a mechanic and even recommended one to me. I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received here and would recommend them to anyone.

Got my winters put on here. Called to book and they got me in the next day! Only took less than an hour for the appointment and all the staff were awesome. Definitely recommend if you need anything transmission-related (or in my case tires).

Thankyou guys for the great service November 5! Dropped the car off,walked down to a restaurant for a nice lunch, walked back and had a nice conversation with one of the guys(sorry bad with names but we solved many problems! Lol). He also let me know the transmission was pretty clean considering what I put on it for KM, it was quite a bit under the quote which is always nice!!! I will go back for the next one.

Devdutt Mistry
Had my check engine light on for a few weeks and finally decided to get it checked out. Since I only have one car, I really couldn’t afford to leave it at a shop for days. After calling around to a few places, no one was willing to even run diagnostics the same day. I called Mister Transmission in Maple Ridge and spoke with the owner, Sunny. After I explained my situation, he was very understanding and offered to at least run a quick diagnostic while I waited, so I could decide whether to leave the car or come back another day. When I arrived, Kyle greeted me and immediately got the car in for testing. He was polite and professional, walked me through the diagnostic results, and showed me the two main error codes — one related to the Mass Air Flow Sensor and another to the Battery Temperature Sensor. They didn’t have the battery temperature sensor in stock for my Nissan Sentra, but Kyle took the time to call around to different parts stores to find pricing and availability. Since the part couldn’t be sourced that same day, he even suggested a simple DIY cleaning of Temperature and Mass Air Flow Sensor so I could try it myself instead of paying for something unnecessary. There was absolutely no pressure to leave the car or agree to any extra repairs. Kyle even topped up the air in all my tires before I left and didn’t charge me for the diagnostics. Overall, both Sunny and Kyle came across as knowledgeable, honest, and respectful of my time. I’ll definitely be returning here when the part comes in or for any future work on my car.
