Can Mitsubishi service save me money?

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.
