What’s the Importance of Your 1997 Galant’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. They're often easy to notice. Mitsubishi Galant transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Mitsubishi Galant transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Galant at all.

1997 Mitsubishi Galant Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mitsubishi's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mitsubishi tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Galant’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Galant transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Mitsubishi Galant transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 my Mitsubishi Galant leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mitsubishi Galant transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
