Manual Transmission Service & Repair Niagara Falls, 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

Darryl Dalkeith
I'm Paul's neighbor and a review written about him washing the absorbant down the sewage drain is completely false. I saw him do the clean up of his driveway that got soaked with oil from working on his truck, after he soaked up the oil he shoveled the excess absorbant into the back of his truck then washed the remainder down to the end of this driveway and shoveled that into the back of his truck the only bit that went down the sewer was the dust that could not be shoveled up. It was a completely good professional job he did cleaning up the mess made..I enclosed a picture of the absorbant both wet and dry in the back of his truck to prove this point... read less

Naturally Yours
I brought my 2009 Toyota Rav 4 to the pros at MR TRANSMISSION last week before a long road trip. John and Paul were unbelievably kind and professional. Being a woman even in the new politically correct world we live in can still be intimidating when it comes to taking your car in for a service. Unlike my regular mechanic who I won't be going back to, they were proactive and fair. They cleaned up the issue and put a fresh coat of paint on their work . They were informative during the inspection and didn't down play the issue but also didn't tell me to repair anything that didn't need repairing. Also they didn't jump to worst case scenarios. I find it extremely difficult to trust but felt I was being treated more than fair right from the moment I called for my appointment and they treated me the same way throughout. Fast , efficient and affordable to say the least. Amazing team! Thank you 😊 🙏
