1986 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mitsubishi's brakes? 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 Mighty Max? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Mighty Max towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Mighty Max is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Mighty Max transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1986 Mighty Max’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 my Mitsubishi Mighty Max leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mitsubishi Mighty Max 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.
