Manual Transmission in Granite Falls

Manual Transmission in Granite Falls, WA

Granite Falls is the doorway to the Mountain Loop Highway, a small town whose roads carry quarry trucks, loggers and a parade of weekend four-wheelers headed into the Cascades. A manual transmission wears differently than an automatic, and Jamie's Transmission Service rebuilds them accordingly for Granite Falls customers: it is the synchros and bearings that wear out, while the gears and shafts usually survive, and the rebuild is built around that reality.

How We Diagnose Manual Transmission Problems in Granite Falls

The climb out of town toward the Loop is a genuine grade, and between trailheads, river bars and gravel spurs, Granite Falls vehicles work harder than their odometers suggest. Hard shifting with the clutch pedal down is often not the transmission at all: the clutch hydraulics, the master cylinder at the pedal and the slave at the transmission, or the pressure plate can all fail to release cleanly. We sort out which it is before Granite Falls customers pay for the wrong repair.

Built to Outlast the Factory Unit in Granite Falls

Lifted 4x4s, side-by-side haulers and older trucks that get used like trucks are Granite Falls staples, and their transfer cases, u-joints and differentials see us as often as their transmissions do. A manual rebuild here typically covers bearings, gaskets, seals and synchros, with everything through the parts wash and inspected. If third gear turns out to be chipped, we replace third gear while we are in there. And there is no torque converter in a manual, so nobody is going to sell you one.
