While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Does my Montero drivetrain include the transmission?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1989 Mitsubishi Montero

Your Montero drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mitsubishi, from back to front.

Care for your 1989 Mitsubishi Montero to maintain its performance power. Follow Mitsubishi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
