Can Mitsubishi drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Mitsubishi drivetrain system?

Your Mitsubishi Galant drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for Mitsubishi Galant differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my Galant malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Galant can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your Galant’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Galant's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Galant.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Galant?

If your Galant has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Galant drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Galant. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

All About 1999 Mitsubishi Galant Drivetrain Service

Your Galant’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Mitsubishi, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Galant’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1999 Mitsubishi Galant, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mitsubishi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Mitsubishi Galant Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1999 Mitsubishi Galant drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Galant might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Mitsubishi Galant drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1999 Mitsubishi Galant? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
