All About 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse Drivetrain Service

Your Eclipse drivetrain transfers power from your 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. Care for your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mitsubishi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Mitsubishi Eclipse Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Mitsubishi could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Mitsubishi Eclipse.

How much does it cost to fix your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.

2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse Drivetrain Questions

Drivetrain problems mean driving problems. Get answers to common drivetrain questions and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for drivetrain help.

  • Can Mitsubishi service save me money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are signs my Mitsubishi drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi Eclipse, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • When should I come in for Mitsubishi Eclipse differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • Why is my Eclipse malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? If your Eclipse has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.
  • Can you clear the Eclipse check engine light on your own? While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Eclipse's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Eclipse.
  • How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Eclipse? If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Eclipse, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.
  • Does my Eclipse transmission belong to the drivetrain system? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Eclipse’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Eclipse forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
