Manual Transmission Service & Repair Orangeville, 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

Rob Willchuk
Not often do I go into a mechanic shop and get treated like a king. They took my baby and fixed her up right. Kept me in the loop with the logistics of delivery on the parts which was nice. My truck is older so parts needed to be shipped in. Quick turn around, great service and go above and beyond. If you want your transmission fixed right the first time these guys are the guys. Thanks Mr.transmission Orangeville I’m very 😃

Tyler
Took my Journey in for a look around since there was a grinding noise every time I reversed. Carlo looked at the vehicle on the spot and informed me that it was the heat shield which came loose and was rattling on the drive shaft. Told me that a few zip ties would repair it. Got home and tied the shield up, noise is gone! Fast and easy. Thanks Carlo!
