Manual Transmission Service & Repair Windsor, Ontario

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

Brought my van in on a wednesday afternoon. Despite having called a different transmission shop, julie at the front quickly worked through the confusion and had my van test driven immediately.Turns out what the dealership had told and quoted me for was incorrect and would've had me going back to them endlessly...Options were clearly laid out, transmission was completely rebuilt and back on the road by end of the day Friday, thousands cheaper than expected.Fantastic business :)

Jennifer Walker
Our old truck started making a loud noise near their shop. Glad it did. The staff were great. They put it up on the hoist and showed my husband the issues. We had some hiccups, it being an old vehicle. But the communication while they worked in it was great. We are very happy with their service. Will be back for future transmission issues with this old pickup.
