Why is Your 2006 Eclipse’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired 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. Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that you can't drive your Eclipse at all.

Questions About 2006 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mitsubishi tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Eclipse towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Eclipse's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mitsubishi Eclipse’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mitsubishi. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Mitsubishi Eclipse leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Where can I get my  Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission fixed? 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? 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.
