Transmission Maintenance & Service in Peterborough, Ontario

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.

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.

Why Choose Us

Lift Inspection

During the lift inspection 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

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.

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. Some of these services will require additional charges, which we will request you authorization prior to the work being performed.

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.

I wish I could put...
Heather Hunter
I wish I could put 10/10 stars. This place is excellent and I highly recommend them. I was having issues with my vehicle lagging on hills and on start off. I believed it may have been an exhaust issue which could have been costly. Joe, the front manager, is an awesome individual. Friendly and informative. One of his workers took the vehicle for a drive and came back with a diagnosis. The air filter box had not been closed properly, affecting the car's ability to receive enough air. It was fixed free of charge. Wow!! Any other mechanic would have charged me for the correction of the box. To future customers. You will not be disappointed. Keep up the awesome customer service Mister Transmission!!!

Arlene Peever
My vehicle totally shut down on Hwy 115 and the only display message was service transmission so I had it towed to Mr Transmission in Peterborough. Turns out that it was not the transmission after being on the diagnostic machine for hours but electrical. Joe then had it towed to the GMC dealership in Lindsay where they determined it to be the fuse block and electrical module. Fixed and then brought back to Peterborough. Definitely went above and beyond for me. Would highly recommend. Sincerely, Arlene

Randy G
I’ve been to Mister Transmission in Peterborough twice. The first time I had my trucks transmission, torque converter and differential fluids changed. The second time I was looking for a transmission part for an old vehicle. Both times the service was excellent and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. The price for the fluid change was great, they refused to take anything for the transmission part. Thank you
