Can Mitsubishi drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Mitsubishi drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi Montero Sport, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mitsubishi Montero Sport differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Montero Sport’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Montero Sport can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your Montero Sport’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Montero Sport's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Montero Sport.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Montero Sport?

If your Montero Sport has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my Montero Sport’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Montero Sport’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Montero Sport forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
