Why is Your 1986 Galant’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1986 Mitsubishi Galant transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Mitsubishi Galant transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Galant’s not even driveable.

1986 Mitsubishi Galant Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mitsubishi? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mitsubishi Galant? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. 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? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1986 Galant’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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Mitsubishi Galant transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mitsubishi Galant, 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.
  • Where can I get my  Mitsubishi Galant transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Galant transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Mitsubishi Galant if there is 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.
