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.

How do I know if my Mitsubishi drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi Galant? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Mitsubishi Galant differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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.

What causes a Galant’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

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.

Is it possible to reset the Galant malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Galant’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Galant?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Galant should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my Galant’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Galant includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Galant forward.

All About 2002 Mitsubishi Galant Drivetrain Service

Your Galant drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2002 Mitsubishi Galant to maintain its performance power. Follow Mitsubishi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Mitsubishi Galant Drivetrain Repairs

Your Mitsubishi Galant may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

How much does it cost to fix your 2002 Mitsubishi Galant drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
