How does Mitsubishi drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

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.

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

A multitude of problems can activate your Galant’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can my Galant malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

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.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Galant's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Mitsubishi, from back to front. It’s one of your Galant’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant, you help maintain your vehicle's 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

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 go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2006 Mitsubishi Galant drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. 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. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mitsubishi Galant doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2006 Mitsubishi Galant drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
