Manual Transmission Service & Repair Whitby, 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

I can not recommend these guys enough. A few years ago these guys fixed my front dif for half of anyone else because they were willing to fix it rather then replace it and it's still going strong. Many km later my transmission started having rough shifts and other shops told me my transmission was not serviceable. Mr transmission saved me again and was able to do a transmission service and get my truck driving like new again!

I brought my car in...
Nicole W
I brought my car in to have the clutch replaced back in March. I was in a rush to get my car in somewhere, and after having been quoted $5k by the dealership, the staff at Mister Transmission accommodated me within the hour and did the service for $1k less than the dealership. Later, there was an issue with the battery when the car was returned home and they looked at it for me at no cost. They even called a week or so later to make sure that the car was running okay.All around great service, great prices, and friendly staff. Thanks a bunch!
