Your Source for Quality and Dependable Manual Transmission Repairs in Edmonton

The clutch is slipping – The clutch is the key to any manual transmission vehicle, as it sends power from the engine into the transmission, allowing the gears to shift. However, if the engine revs but the gear doesn’t shift or the car doesn’t move, that’s a bad sign that is often indicative of a clutch pedal that needs adjustment or replacement.
 

The clutch is sticking – If the clutch hits the floor but fails to come back up into place, that’s a dead giveaway that there’s an issue. The root cause of the problem is typically external leaking from either the clutch master or slave cylinder. In this case, a replacement will be necessary but much cheaper than removing the entire transmission.
 

Issues getting into gear – If there’s any grinding when you shift gears or your vehicle seems to be having difficulty moving, there’s likely an issue. Often, your transmission likely has a part that is worn down or has been damaged. Even worse, there could be an issue with the electrical system.
 

Failure to change fluids – One of the most critical aspects of properly maintaining your manual transmission is changing the fluids routinely. Failure to do so can lead to hydraulic failures and other serious issues.
 

Fluid leaks – Like automatic transmissions, any time you notice a consistent transmission fluid leak, repairs are needed immediately! Remember that all transmissions are sealed units, meaning leaks should never occur unless there’s internal or external damage.
