Manual Shift Transmission Sports Car Image

Manual transmissions aren’t necessarily simple, but they’re much easier to understand in concept than their automatic counterparts. You’re probably aware there are gears in manual transmissions - but there’s a little more to it than that. Here are some of the major components you’ll find in a manual transmission.

Shafts - There are three main shafts inside a manual transmission. There’s an input shaft where engine power is transferred via the clutch, and that drives the layshaft, also known as the countershaft. The countershaft has different sized gears to achieve various gear ratios. Corresponding gears on the countershaft connect to the output shaft. The output shaft is connected to the driveshaft, which powers the differential.

Honest, professional...what more can we ask for. Brought my 1996 Ford Ranger in with an A/T . .. slippage issues. They diagnosed the problem and gave my suggestions. In 2009 I called them about my 2005 Pontiac Vibe, they told me there was a recall on it saving me over $1,000. Thank you for your honesty! I hope I never have transmission issues again, but if I do, guess who I'll call? Thank you, folks, and GOD Bless.

Have used this business many times. This is one of the best service repair facilities that I’ve dealt with. The people are great and the service was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable. Had an intermittent problem with the truck and Chris was the one who found the problem. Highly recommend Brooksville Transmission

Highly recommend! I needed a new transmission, and they had great communication and great customer service. They even waived the fee to help me out. I would definitely go back. - Caroline P.

Prevention is better than cure. You've probably heard that said plenty of times. The phrase is most often used to talk about health and medicine, but it is just as valid to apply it to vehicles. It's great if your problem can be sorted without much trouble, but even better not to have a problem in the first place. This is especially true when it comes to your vehicle's transmission, as this can be one of the more specialized parts to repair. Not all transmission problems require an extensive overhaul, but they will all cause at least some trouble and inconvenience. Avoiding transmission problems is clearly preferable to even the problems that are quickest and cheapest repair. This is why it is important to ensure you take good care of your transmission. This will help prevent problems and keep it working smoothly. Ideally, it will mean that it doesn't develop any faults at all. Even if it does eventually go wrong, however, it is entirely possible that good care will mean the fault is less serious and easier to repair than it would have been otherwise. Here's some insight on how to prevent problems from our team here at Brooksville Transmissions, Inc..

Your transmission suddenly isn’t shifting right. So what’s wrong with it? Do you need your transmission rebuilt? To find out what’s causing your transmission problem, one of our technicians here at Brooksville Transmissions, Inc. is going to have to perform a series of tests. Basically, these tests are designed to answer the simple question: “Is it inside or outside?” That is, is the problem inside the transmission, or in one of the many control systems that operate the transmission?
