Why Mister Transmission's Multi-Check Inspection is Crucial to Transmission Maintenance

Transmission maintenance will keep your transmission running more efficiently, running longer, and will reduce the chances that you’ll need major repairs. Mister Transmission offers comprehensive transmission maintenance.

Transmission Maintenance Is Crucial To The Health Of Your Transmission.

They say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It’s true of your personal health and it’s true of the health of your transmission. Regular transmission maintenance catches small problems before they become big—and expensive—problems.

Mister Transmission Offers Comprehensive Transmission Maintenance With Our Multi-Check Inspection System.

A lot of maintenance is inspection. Looking for things that might be wrong, investigating complaints, or just making sure everything is still working. To accomplish this, Mister Transmission has developed the Multi-Check Inspection. This is an exhaustive inspection that checks all the aspects of transmissions that commonly go askew. Rest assured, if there’s something wrong with your transmission, the Multi-Check Inspection will find it.

How Does The Multi-Check Inspection Work?

The Mister Transmission Free Road Test and Multi-Check Inspection consists of four key phases: the visual inspection, the fluid check (on models with dipsticks), the road test, and the on-board diagnostics (OBD) computer scan. It works something like this:

  • The Visual Inspection: We look at the transmission and note anything we see that could be problematic.
  • The Fluid Check: Transmission fluid needs to be topped up every now and then, but if it has to be topped up every month, that’s a problem. We also check the quality of the fluid. If the fluid is opaque or foul smelling, there’s good chance there’s something wrong in the transmission.
  • The Road Test: There are two segments to the road test: a stationary test and a driving test. While driving your vehicle, we will thoroughly test every position for slipping, noises, harsh, soft or erratic shifting, and late or early shift patterns.
  • The OBD Computer Scan: We have special equipment that allows us to interface with your vehicle’s on-board computer, which can tell us if there’s a problem like a defective sensor or solenoid pack.

Sometimes A Lift And/Or Pan Inspection Are Required During Transmission Maintenance.

*Additional charges may apply*

If our technicians expect there’s a problem with your transmission, we’ll put it on a lift. Here we will check:

  • Neutral Switch
  • Engine RPM
  • Throttle Linkage
  • Modulators
  • Transmission Mounts
  • U-Joints
  • Fluid Retention
  • Electronic Controls

If we suspect something is wrong with your fluid, we will drain it and examine the contents in a pan. Here, we expect to see some solid particles, but too many is indicative of an internal transmission problem.

I took my Nissan Rogue, thinking that it would need a full repair in the transmission. They drove the vehicle, tested and told me no fix was needed. I was amazed. Zero cost. I will take my car to do the fluids and filters. I feel happy to find and honest transmission expert.

Katherine Wilson
I had taken my vehicle in for service to a different shop for a noise, which was fixed. However, they recommended that I needed to replace my transmission, along with a bunch of other things. I wasn't experiencing any transmission issues so decided to get a second opinion.Went to Mr. Transmission today in Burlington. They performed a diagnostic test and found no indication of transmission problems. I opted to wait for the test, very quickly done. There was no charge for this service! Very refreshing to find someone who is honest. Very pleasant experience. Thank you Mr. Transmission!

Had them replace the clutch master cylinder and bleed the system on my 1996 Chevy k2500. Dropped the truck off the night before and had it back the next day. Very nice and professional people.

Was referred to Mr T in North Van, but ended up coming here as it was closer, and I'm glad I did. Frank and his team were very uncomplicated men of their word, which is all you need! Delivered as promised (and sooner), and the car lives on!

Павел Андриенко
I've been test-driving the car for about a month, and put in around 3,000 km since the repairs. I had a major problem that required serious work—the head gasket on my 2018 Honda Accord needed to be replaced. The team performed other repairs that further enhanced its performance. The company also offered financing, which was no issue at all. Great place, highly recommend!
