Manual Transmission Service & Repair Lacombe, AB

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
– Lack of Responsiveness or delays in movement

I cannot say enough good...
Shane Whitehead
I cannot say enough good things about dealing with Mister Transmission. Their staff are extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond while working on my transmission. They brought out the filter and pan and explained what they suspect happened before even pulling the transmission apart. They were kind enough to take me into the shop and allow me a visual of what I was looking at and was able to walk away more knowledgeable than going in.They gave me a ride home in their personal vehicle as they did not have a shuttle and didn't even mention taking a taxi as if it wasn't an option.They stuck around late on a Thursday of a long weekend (Friday being the holiday) to ensure the vehicle was returned to me before the long weekend and leaving me without a vehicle for an additional 4 days.I will be returning for fluid changes and any other concerns with other vehicles in the future.

Highly recommend Mr transmission. They worked with me in every way possible and were straight up about everything that needed work. And didn’t push to do work that I could hold off for a while. They were very accommodating to me to work with in my budget. Even talked to manager and also talked to the technician. To help me understand what work needed to be done.Very happy customer and will recommend to all my friends for sure.

These guys were fair. They seem to be more interested in fixing than selling unneeded services or parts. Only guys in the western hemisphere that are fair. i would say the world but there’s an honest guy in albania that i’ve hear about, apparently , 👍
