What Does Your Mitsubishi Eclipse Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Eclipse’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Eclipse’s not even driveable.

1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mitsubishi's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mitsubishi Eclipse? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Eclipse is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Eclipse's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1996 Eclipse’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mitsubishi's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mitsubishi Eclipse? Yes, your Mitsubishi Eclipse can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Eclipse ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who does Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission repair? If you have a problem with your transmission system, don’t hesitate to visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Our expert technicians can diagnose and repair Eclipse transmission leaks and other issues. Schedule an appointment today!
  • Can I still drive my Mitsubishi Eclipse if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Eclipse to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
