What’s the Importance of Your 1988 Mirage’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Mitsubishi Mirage transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Mitsubishi Mirage transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Mirage’s not even driveable.

1988 Mitsubishi Mirage Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mitsubishi? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mitsubishi Mirage? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Mirage’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Mirage's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Mitsubishi Mirage’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Mitsubishi Mirage transmission fluid leak? Yes. Mitsubishi Mirage transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
