Manual Transmission Service at Stanley Ford McGregor

If you drive a vehicle with a manual transmission, you’ll want to keep it serviced to ensure it provides smooth gear changes as you drive. You can trust the service team at Stanley Ford McGregor to take care of your manual transmission and other components of your vehicle if you live around Gatesville, Waco, or Killeen.

A manual transmission uses a clutch to transfer the power from the engine to the transmission, which allows the gear changes. Like an automatic transmission, a manual transmission requires transmission fluid to keep the gears shifting smoothly. You’ll need to have the transmission fluid replaced periodically. The main difference between the two for the driver is that they will have to shift gears manually versus having the automatic transmission do it for them.

Problems You May Have with a Manual Transmission

Your manual transmission may not work as well if it needs the fluid replaced or other components are failing. Some signs that your transmission needs service include the following:

  • Check engine stays on when you start the engine.
  • The engine revs, but the car doesn’t move normally or not at all. This could mean the clutch is slipping, worn, or needs adjusted.
  • You hear grinding noises.
  • The car sounds noisy when it’s in neutral.
  • The vehicle delays moving when you shift gears

If you notice any of these signs, you should schedule service with Stanley Ford McGregor. We’ll inspect your vehicle and check the transmission to determine the problem. We use the latest diagnostic equipment to find out what’s wrong with your transmission if it starts giving you trouble.

We also recommend that you bring your vehicle in for a fluid flush to prevent future issues. When the transmission fluid gets dirty, it’s less effective at lubricating the transmission gears and other components.
