Are you experiencing problems shifting your manual transmission? If the shifting seems off, or if something just “feels” different, it may be wise to bring your car into Elk River Tire and Auto and allow us to inspect your manual transmission problems and, perhaps, treat your vehicle to a transmission repair service.

Today’s manual transmission problems are highly complex, and there may be a necessary minor adjustment that can save you lot of money in the long run. Should you ignore minor transmission problems with your manual process, it is highly likely that you will cause further problems, either by grinding the gears or creating further misalignment troubles.

Of particular concern on newer vehicles is the Syncro-mesh clutching system that ensures the next highest gear will properly mesh with the clutch plate. This synchronizing mechanism has to change the speed of the entire clutch and input shaft every time you shift, and it can become worn quite rapidly when abused by the power of the engine itself, due to efforts shift gears without the clutch working properly or being fully engaged or disengaged. Because of the accuracy of newer versions of this instrument, shifts can often be made that create rapidly deterioration issues while deceiving the driver, who will sense that normal shifts are occurring. As a result, additional transmission problems that should have been avoided are becoming more and more commonplace.

Because of the high cost of undergoing a large transmission repair, it is important that you know the “feel” of your clutch and brings your vehicle into an ASE certified mechanic such as ours when you note even the slightest difference in the “feel”. Perhaps it is nothing, but the experienced mechanics here at Elk River Tire and Auto can make sure for you. If necessary, we can offer transmission repair service or recommend minor transmission repair before things get out of hand. So, if you are experiencing something that just doesn’t seem right when you shift your manual transmission, we urge you to bring your car to our location in Elk River, MN serving the areas of Otsego, and Zimmerman, MN.
