2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mitsubishi's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mitsubishi tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Eclipse’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Eclipse's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2012 Eclipse’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mitsubishi Eclipse? 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 does Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission repair? When your Eclipse transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I still drive my Mitsubishi Eclipse if it has 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.
