Questions About 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mitsubishi's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mitsubishi? 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. 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.
  • How often does my Mirage transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1997 Mirage’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mitsubishi's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Mitsubishi Mirage transmission fluid leak? 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.
