Frustrated by gears that grind or a clutch that won’t release? The right transmission & clutch repair restores smooth, reliable power so your tractor, excavator, or feller-buncher stays productive when every hour matters.
Transmission & Clutch Repair Services in Central Alberta
When transmissions slip or clutches chatter, downtime follows fast. You might spot fluid that smells burnt, notice delayed engagement when you drop a blade, or hear a tell-tale knock under load. Left unchecked, those symptoms can score shafts, overheat bearings, and chew through synchronizers—turning a simple fix into a full overhaul.
Black Sheep Heavy Duty meets you where you work. Our four fully equipped service trucks can handle a transmission reseal on a remote grain field or pull a 24-inch bellhousing deep in the bush. Need a controlled environment for precision alignment? Roll into our Red Deer County bay and watch a six-technician crew swap planetary gear sets, calibrate electronic shift valves, and set clutch pack clearances to exact OEM spec. We service:
- Agricultural equipment—tractors, combines, sprayers
- Construction equipment—excavators, loaders, graders
- Forestry & logging equipment—skidders, processors, feller-bunchers
Whether you run a straight-cut gearbox or a powershift with electronic modulation, we test, flush, and retorque every unit before handing back the keys—so you leave confident and ready to work.
What Makes Us Different
- Ongoing Training: Our technicians log continuous OEM and aftermarket courses, mastering the newest hydromechanical and electronically controlled drivetrains.
- Preferred-Vendor Parts With Warranty: Through national parts partnerships, we source genuine components quickly and pass along full vendor warranties—added peace of mind at no extra cost.
- Dual-Industry Expertise: One day we’re rebuilding a CVT in a high-horsepower tractor, the next we’re pressing bearings on a forestry swing gear. That breadth means we spot failure patterns others overlook and solve problems the first time.
- Mobile Muscle: Each service truck carries a 14,000-lb crane, high-CFM air compressor, welder, hydraulic power pack, oil recovery system, air-arc gouger, mobile cylinder bench, and a 100-ton track press. Two rigs feature 4WD for soft or snowy access roads, so remote leases never slow us down.
- Any Hour, Any Day: Clutch disk cracked at 2 a.m.? Call and talk to a real person. Our 24/7 dispatch lines up parts while the technician drives, shrinking delays and saving you revenue.

FAQs
What Areas Do You Serve For Transmission & Clutch Repair?
We operate from 37549 Range Road 232, Red Deer County, AB, near the junction of Range Road 232 and Highway 11. Because we’re federally regulated, our mobile crews frequently service central Alberta sites and can travel as far west as British Columbia or north to Nunavut when projects demand it, keeping travel costs transparent along the way.
How Often Should I Change Transmission Oil In Farm Equipment?
Most manufacturers recommend 500-hour intervals for conventional oil and 1,000-hour intervals for premium synthetic blends. Severe-duty work such as heavy tillage or frequent road travel shortens these windows. Sampling oil and watching for viscosity loss or metal content lets you tailor intervals to your exact operating conditions.
What Are The Signs My Clutch Is Failing On A Wheel Loader?
Expect harder pedal effort, sudden engagement, or a burning smell during long pushes. You may also notice the machine rolling backward on grades even while throttled up. Addressing worn friction plates early prevents heat damage to flywheels and keeps throw-out bearings from seizing.
