Warning Signs of a Manual Transmission Repair

Some modern cars are made with manual transmissions. As sophisticated as these modern transmissions can be, however, errors can make gearshifts considerably less smooth.

You might notice some strange sounds or vibrations when something goes awry with your vehicle’s transmission. In other situations, your transmission might shift gears in unpredictable ways. This can result in uneven speeds and inconsistencies while driving. For example, your car may sound like it’s trying to go 100 miles per hour when it’s only traveling at 50. This is known as a clutch slipping in most cases.

While some of these problems might seem negligible in the moment, ignoring such issues could make the situation worse. This can lead to a decrease in the life of your manual transmission over time and an increase the costs to repair.

How Manual Transmissions Work

Manual transmissions’ internal rotating assemblies have many moving parts. A portion of the pieces inside a manual transmission includes gears, bearings, and synchronizers. Manual transmissions gears are machined in a way that allows each gears tooth surface to mate very closely to each other.

Bearings support gears and shafts, and allow the manual transmission gears and shafts to turn smoothly. Synchronizers are designed to stop the gears from spinning, and also align the slider to a gear.

When the gears stop spinning inside, the slider (moved when you shift by the shift fork inside the manual transmission) locks additional teeth on the gears side . As a result, the manual transmissions gear assembly is now locked into the gears side teeth, and you have completed your shift.

Benefits of a Manual Transmission

Manual transmissions have some pretty amazing benefits even with their steep learning curve. For starters, they can be dramatically cheaper in price as compared to an automatic transmission. This can come in handy when replacing or repairing a transmission.

Manual transmissions require less maintenance in the long run than their automatic counterparts because they have less moving parts. The most required repair on a manual transmission is usually clutch replacement, which is typically a fraction of the cost of an automatic transmission.
For those who absolutely love to drive, control can be another huge benefit of a manual transmission. Knowing the performance of your vehicle is in your hands can be quite exciting.

If you have any questions regarding the benefits of a manual transmission or any other transmission repair service-related questions, give the experts at A-Affordable Transmissions Center a call today! We look forward to helping you.

I couldn’t be more grateful for Patrick and his crew at A-Affordable Transmission Center. After my clutch gave out in the middle of a busy intersection, I called Patrick, he immediately set me up with his tow guy and within an hour my Jeep was at his shop. They were able to take a look the next day, gave me all the details of what was needed, and had the work completed in two days. I was so impressed with the customer service and the work done. I have a great warranty on the work completed! Thank you Patrick and your crew!

At the time of this post it has been a week since my transmission has been fixed. The car is running as expected without issues. The service advisor, Mr. Patrick Shaver, did exactly what he said he would do. I would highly recommend this company.

My son was having shifting issues with his car. I talked with some friends for any reliable, fair auto shops and A Affordable Transmission Center was recommended. I contacted them and was able to get in quickly for a diagnostic check. Issues were identified and fair price for repairs was quoted along with the timeframe for completion. Everything went smoothly and vehicle was repaired as promised on time. Very friendly staff, knowledgeable and quick to respond to communications. I highly recommend their services.

We brought my father’s truck in here, green ’98 Mazda truck, we made the mistake of taking it to a different shop first it was never right. Patrick and his team provided exceptional service! Great value for all the work they did! They even removed my dads rusted step rails at no extra charge! Patrick took they time and thoroughly explained to my dad the parts he replaced, and why they needed to be replaced. Highly recommend this shop! Thanks A-Affordable for getting us back on the road again!

One of the best auto shops I’ve ever been to. These guys rebuilt my transmission on a Ford Escape. I called 5 or 6 different shops comparing prices and Affordable had the best price in town. Every single person I spoke with over there was polite, respectful, and helpful. And the best thing, in my opinion, is that they actually answered the phone each time I called. And the one time they didn’t, the returned the call within a couple hours. That kind of prompt response is almost unheard of these days. I would highly recommend anyone check them out if you’re having car issues. Patrick, Ben, and Michelle were all awesome and very helpful. Thanks for getting my ride back on the road again!
