What Does Your Mitsubishi Galant Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose 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. 2001 Mitsubishi Galant transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Mitsubishi Galant transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Galant isn’t working at all.

2001 Mitsubishi Galant Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mitsubishi tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • 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. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mitsubishi Galant? 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 does Mitsubishi Galant transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Galant transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mitsubishi Galant if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
