What’s the Importance of Your 1985 Galant’s Transmission?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Galant’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Mitsubishi Galant transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Mitsubishi Galant transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Galant at all.

1985 Mitsubishi Galant Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mitsubishi's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mitsubishi Galant? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Galant towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Galant is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Galant's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Mitsubishi Galant transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mitsubishi's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Mitsubishi Galant transmission fluid leak? Yes. Mitsubishi Galant transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who fixes Mitsubishi Galant transmission leaks? When your Galant transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Is it okay to drive a Galant with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Galant 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.
