All About 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse Drivetrain Service

Your Eclipse’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Mitsubishi, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Eclipse’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mitsubishi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Mitsubishi could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mitsubishi Eclipse doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse drivetrain repair is expensive. Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
