Manual Transmission Service at Toyota of Scranton

When it comes to servicing your manual transmission, you can rely on the staff at Toyota of Scranton to provide you with top-notch service for all your vehicle needs, including your transmission. A manual transmission needs to be serviced just like an automatic transmission. Regularly scheduled service intervals are vital to the life of your transmission, and proper care and maintenance can help prevent problems before they arise or spot them early enough to take preventive measures.
Manual transmissions are made up mostly of gears and a clutch. The clutch is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the transmission when shifting gears. Just like an automatic transmission, manual transmissions also require transmission fluid. That fluid can degrade and lose its effectiveness over time. Replacing the fluid is essential to keep the gears lubricated and shifting correctly.

Warning Signs of Manual Transmission Problems

When your transmission needs servicing, certain clues may be evident. Recognizing the symptoms of transmission issues as early as possible can prevent further system damage. If you notice any of the following conditions, have your transmission checked as soon as possible.

  • Check engine light: If your check engine light comes on, it could be for any number of reasons. Get your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
  • Clutch slips: A slipping clutch is easy to identify. When you press on the gas pedal and hear the engine rev, but it takes a second before the gear engages, it could indicate a slipping clutch. This should be addressed in a timely matter. The solution could be as simple as topping off the transmission fluid.
  • Grinding gears: If you hear a grinding noise while you are driving or if the car makes a grinding noise as you are shifting into gear, you need to have our service department look at it.
  • Noisy in neutral: If your transmission is making noise even when it’s in neutral, bumping, or rattling when shifting in and out of gear, this could be a sign of low transmission fluid.
  • Delays: Lack of response from your transmission or delays in movement while driving can also be a symptom of transmission problems.
