It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

Questions About 1987 Mitsubishi Mirage’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mitsubishi's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mitsubishi tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Mirage 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 Mirage's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Mitsubishi Mirage transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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 Mirage leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Mitsubishi Mirage can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Mirage 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.
  • Who fixes Mitsubishi Mirage transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Mirage transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mitsubishi Mirage if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Mirage to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
