Manual Transmission Service & Repair Markham, 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

Leio Shek
I had been to other shops before coming to Mr. Transmission, and every time I got upsold on expensive services that did absolutely nothing for my car. It was frustrating and costly. Ken was completely different. He quickly diagnosed the real issue, changed the transfer case oil, and now my car runs incredibly smooth — night and day difference. No pressure, no nonsense, just honest, quality service. If you want someone who actually knows what they're doing and won't waste your money, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Timothy Hudson
This location was recommended to me by someone I trust completely. That was a good start. The owner, Ken, personally attended to my transmission shifting problems with expertise and insight. He listened attentively, assessed things quickly, did only what was needed, and I was on my way much faster than I ever imagined. And for a fabulous price. Was an all-round exceptional experience, and I give them the highest recommendation -- even though it was a greater distance to visit this shop than one close to my home. Very trustworthy. Thanks for all the help, Ken!

Sajid Sheikh
Ken is an honest, stand-up guy. I brought in my 2008 Land Rover not knowing who to trust, and he took me under his wing. He fixed the issue, saved me money, and even went the extra mile by checking oil levels in spots most wouldn’t bother with. I’ll definitely be coming back for future work.
