Manual Transmission Service & Repair North York, 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

A R
Had some clutch issues. Explained the issues to Joe and he just had me pump the clutch a few times while he looked under the hood and it turns out to be just air in the hydraulic system. He could have given me the dealer treatment and charged me for diagnostic fees and shop time but he didn’t. He took me for a quick drive around to make sure it’s working and sent me on my way. That’s the kind of place this is. Honest people. Will come back (hopefully not) but if I ever have any transmission issues, this is where I’ll go. Highly recommended.

Joe was exceptional! He ssisted with trying to find the issue I thought I was experiencing and although all avenues lead to no issues (great for me) they were still able to complete a transmission oil change per the maintenance schedule very quickly. My husband also swears by this location and will only recommend this location to others. I will definitely be back with my other car to get maintenance done. Thank you for a great experience.
