Your Eclipse’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Eclipse’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mitsubishi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
