What Goes Into Routine Transmission Service?

What Goes Into Routine Transmission Service

The term “routine transmission service” is a bit of a misnomer, because when it comes to transmissions, the routine can be anything but. The fact of the matter is, even though we think of transmissions as being a singular component of the engine, it is actually a highly intricate collection of parts. Each part of a transmission must be working properly for the entire transmission to operate smoothly and efficiently. Given that, routine transmission service can be quite complex and technical. Even so, it must be done, because transmission service is integral to you getting the most out of your vehicle.

Transmission Service

Like every other part and component of an automobile, the transmission requires regular service and maintenance to ensure a long life with minimal issues and problems. At Mister Transmission, we take transmissions very seriously and transmission service is our bread and butter. At Mister Transmission, our transmission service consists of a complete diagnosis of your transmission’s performance and general operation. What’s more, we perform several of these procedures twice; once by the centre manager and then again by a technician. By doing this, we double check your transmission’s key systems and provide you with added assurance.

The Crux Of Transmission Service

The ultimate key of Mister Transmission’s transmission service is our multi-check inspection. When trying to diagnose and correct any and all of your transmission’s issues, we perform a multi-check inspection. Our multi-check inspection consists of the following: a fluid check, a road test, a lift inspection/diagnosis, and a pan examination. By carrying out these four important checks, we can ensure your transmission gets the best service possible.

The Multi-Check Inspection

If your transmission is suffering from any problems of wear and tear, we’ll be able to see it by performing a fluid check. If your transmission is in good working order it will have a clear red fluid. If not, your fluid will be discoloured and possibly even have an unpleasant odour. By performing a fluid check, our technicians can determine whether or not your transmission requires an internal inspection.

Our road test is comprised of two components: a stationary test and a driving test. This is the most detailed portion of our multi-check transmission service. We test every position of your transmission for slipping, noises, harsh, soft or erratic shifting, as well as late or early shift patterns.

The lift inspection portion of our transmission service checks a whole host of different components of the transmission. In doing so, we can determine if a minor adjustment can correct the transmission problem in question. As part of the lift inspection, we will check: the neutral switch, engine RPM, throttle linkage, modulators, transmission mounts, U-joints. fluid retention, and the electronic controls.

The pan examination is quite possibly the most important portion of our transmission service. By doing so, we can get a partial look into the transmission. In every pan, we expect to find some metal particles and friction material. However, an excessive amount indicates internal wear and damage.

Please Contact Us

Our multi-check inspection is a big part of our transmission service. But there’s a lot else that goes into Mister Transmission’s transmission service, too. If you have any questions about this or anything else, please contact us today.

Awesome customer service and price...
Tj Ham
Awesome customer service and price and I really appreciated how the manager and mechanic took the time to explain what and how they were going to rebuild my transmission. The final price was what they quoted and they were the cheapest quote I received after calling many places.

The guys were great, they got my car in right away when I called and did a great job diagnosing my car. They didn't charge me to to the diagnosis and they were really thorough. Plus they are one of the few transmission places that do cvt transmissions in Red Deer.

Jordan Granato
I recently had a transmission rebuild done at Mr. Transmission (Woodbridge, Rowntree Dairy Rd) Lorenzo and his team handled my vehicle and situation with the utmost professionalism and transparency, Providing me an accurate quote upfront after a free road test / Scanner diagnostic before even disassembling my transmission. Giving me timely and honest updates about the status of my vehicle’s repair while the service was being performed for the few days it was in the shop. I would highly recommend Lorenzo and his team at Mr.Transmission In Woodbridge to anyone experiencing issues of their own. 10/10

Shanece Nestor
I went to Mister Transmission Whitby because my vehicle was showing signs that the transmission might be going. I honestly thought I was losing my transmission, but it turned out to just be a leak.From the beginning, the service was amazing. Denise who I spoke with over the phone was incredibly professional and so nice. She kept me updated throughout the process and made everything feel a lot less stressful.This was my first time going there, and my experience was honestly great. I was greeted kindly, and everyone was helpful and respectful.I would 100% recommend this place if you’re having transmission issues.Overall, it’s a solid place to take your vehicle. I’m really glad I chose them! P.S the recommendation came from Jiffy Lube.

Recently had an issue with my Dodge Ram 1500. A rare message appeared and no one seemed to know what it was. My mechanic (in Bancroft) referred me to Mr. Transmission in Peterborough. The service there was GREAT!!! Cam explained to me exactly what was needed. Cam and Joe were so helpful and answered all my questions. Will definitely go back should I need any transmission repairs in the future. I am very grateful for their wonderful service. Highly recommend!!!

A few weeks ago, I had a great transmission fluid experience at this branch of Mister Transmission. I purchased a used Hyundai Tucson but unfortunately this car’s maintenance history is not complete. I decided not to take a risk of damaging its transmission and change its transmission fluid. This Mister Transmission location did a complete transmission fluid change and my car’s transmission perform much better after the change!!
