How does Mitsubishi drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Mitsubishi drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi Mirage, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Mitsubishi Mirage differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Mirage?

If your Mirage has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the Mirage check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Mirage, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Mirage to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Mirage?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage

Your Mirage’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mitsubishi, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Mirage and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mitsubishi's recommendations.

When to Get Mitsubishi Mirage Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Mirage might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mitsubishi Mirage doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
