Why is Your 2006 Lancer’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 Lancer’s performance. They're often easy to notice. Mitsubishi Lancer transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Mitsubishi Lancer transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Lancer at all.

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mitsubishi? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mitsubishi Lancer? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Lancer towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Lancer's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2006 Lancer’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Mitsubishi Lancer transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Mitsubishi Lancer can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Lancer ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
