Can Mitsubishi service save me money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are signs my Mitsubishi drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi Eclipse? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements 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.

What causes a Eclipse’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

A multitude of problems can activate your Eclipse’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the Eclipse malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Eclipse’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Eclipse?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Eclipse. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Eclipse.

Is my Eclipse’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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.

2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse Drivetrain Service

Your Eclipse drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mitsubishi, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mitsubishi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mitsubishi Eclipse may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mitsubishi Eclipse doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
