Why is Your 2009 Galant’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Galant’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mitsubishi Galant transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Mitsubishi Galant transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Galant’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2009 Mitsubishi Galant’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mitsubishi? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mitsubishi? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Galant’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Galant is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Galant transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Mitsubishi Galant’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mitsubishi, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Mitsubishi Galant transmission fluid leak? 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 can fix my  Mitsubishi Galant transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Galant transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mitsubishi Galant if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Galant if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
