What Does Your Mitsubishi Eclipse Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. 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. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Eclipse’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mitsubishi? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mitsubishi? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Eclipse’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Eclipse's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2005 Eclipse’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mitsubishi, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Mitsubishi Eclipse leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mitsubishi Eclipse, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who fixes Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission leaks? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Eclipse transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Eclipse with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Eclipse if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
