Transmission Maintenance & Service in Upper Capilano, BC

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.

Multi-Check Inspection in Upper Capilano, BC

The Mister Transmission Multi-Check Inspection includes:

  • Fluid Check
  • Road Test
  • Lift Inspection/Diagnosis
  • Pan Examination

 

Learn more about the Multi-Check Inspection:

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.

Lift Inspection

During the lift inspection/diagnosis 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

The pan examination is the most important part of the Mister Transmission Multi-Check. It provides the centre manager, technician, and yourself with a partial look inside your transmission.

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.

 

What’s Next After Your Multi-Check Inspection?

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.

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.

Ok so I phone around...
Roy Cross
Ok so I phone around a few places looking for a new clutch in my 1990 f150 302. Lots were about the same price. But I had the clutch done on my ranger here in 97 and it was a perfect job. That ranger pulled a pretty big boat it had no business moving . I sold the ranger in 2021 with same clutch working perfectly..lol Now forward to 2024 I decided to give these guys a shot as they did such a great job in 97 . It should be noted that I just changed the engine in my 91 geo, I am not a mechanic or a tech..but I know the basics and I know when it’s right and when it’s wrong. I can’t do the clutch in big red ..think transfer case ..giant transmission ..flywheel resurfaced.and I’m now 57 .. So in she went . 2 days later they gave me a call ..all done. Wow .drives like a new truck ..the slave cylinder on these is a pain to bleed ..the adjustment on the clutch is a pain..but it’s like brand new. In previous reviews I see a few 1 stars .but I disagree, both my fords ..both manual both had clutches and new slave and master cylinder jobs and both came in at the budget I was quoted. I’m happy and I’m pretty sure you will be to .

Top rate shop! After taking my Civic here for transmission issues (noise, leaked out all its fluid), I was mentally preparing for the worst. The technician took time to answer all my questions and explain what had gone wrong. Turns out that they were able to repair the issue and get me going for a reasonable charge, and two days after they received the car by tow. They seem to be an honest and very knowledgeable shop, and I left feeling grateful to have chosen a good place. Thank you guys!!

Rick and his crew were awesome. After having a terrible experience at Langley Chrysler I was recommended to try out Mister Transmission in North Vancouver. Langley Chrysler told me I needed a whole new transmission to the tune of $14,000…yup that is not a mistake…for my 2017 RAM1500 with the 8 speed transmission. I was told I needed to replace the whole transmission. I called Rick and had the truck towed over to them. A few days later I got a call and they told me that the issue was in my valve body. They were able to repair it and get me back on the road for less than 25% of what I was quoted from Chrysler. Thanks so much for taking care of me. I highly recommend this shop.

Peter Schulhof
I am a certified automotive technician of 35+ years and have been using Mr Transmission since the late 90's. They have always done a fantastic job on rebuilding transmissions for me that are beyond my skill set. Recently they did a manual transmission rebuild that I needed to be done quickly. It was going into a highly collectible show car. We never had time to test it for a few months after the rebuild. It turns out there was a glitch with a gear shifter fork. Within 24 hours of notifying Rick (one of the owners) of the issue, the car was picked up and the transmission was fully torn down and flawlessly repaired at no charge, and this was 4 months after I had the transmission redone but was not able to test it until the engine was finished being restored. They are the most "Stand Up" quality transmission shop I have ever dealt with in my 35+ years of automotive service. I will never go anywhere else. Peter
