What’s the Importance of Your 1996 Mirage’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. They're often easy to notice. Mitsubishi Mirage transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Mitsubishi Mirage transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Mirage’s not even driveable.

1996 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. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Mirage’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Mirage is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Mirage's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Mitsubishi Mirage transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Mitsubishi Mirage transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mitsubishi Mirage, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

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.
