Manual Transmission Service & Repair Orillia, 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

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

Peggy-Lee Pearce
Terrific shop. Orillia is very fortunate to have a transmission specialist with such expertise and integrity. We were in a tough spot with news of our transmission failure. We had not met previously, but Chris stepped up, just as an old family friend would step up. We can't say enough about the work ethic and honesty of this Mr. Transmission. If you need work, this is definitely the place to go.

Needed a rush view of our vehicle and despite being fully booked , they fit us in and treated us like a regular valued customer rather than a rush drop in. We will absolutely use them if needed again and refer any and all friends to them. Chris and Christina and their staff were amazing. Highly recommend. Gary Hawton
