  • 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.

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.
