1986 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Transmission Q&A

  • 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.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1986 Mighty Max’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

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.
