Why is Your 2008 Lancer’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Lancer’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Mitsubishi Lancer transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Lancer’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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. 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Lancer’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Lancer's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Mitsubishi Lancer transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mitsubishi Lancer? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mitsubishi Lancer, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
