Manual Transmission Service & Repair Winnipeg, Manitoba

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

Tara McLauchlan
We’ve been taking our Promaster campervan to this location for years. Their service has always been fast, friendly and fair. They’ve been able to repair anything we’ve asked of them. We recently took our van on a cross Canada road trip, we ended up having issues with our transmission just outside of Ottawa. Phil from Mr Transmission Winnipeg, was able to communicate with the location in Ottawa to honour the nation wide warranty. Even though we were 6000 kms over our warranty, Phil covered all the repairs under warranty and was checking in to make sure we got back on the road safely.

Liz Gosselin
My 2016 Dodge Journey would not pick up speed without revving at a really high rpm. Transmission was slipping and revved hard in reverse. Took it in to Mister Transmission on Portage Ave knowing I most likely needed a new transmission. Got them to check and yes I needed one. They gave me the money back for the diagnostic and I paid for the new transmission. They also provided me with a courtesy car for 5 days. They did the work so quick and made sure my car was fixed properly. My car runs like a brand new vehicle. It picks up speed, rpm is good, and doesnt shake in reverse anymore. Special thanks to Phil and the team for repairing my car and getting it back to working order. They also have a good warrenty on the new transmission. Completely worth the money. Thanks guys.
