2002 Mitsubishi Montero Questions & Answers

  • 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.
  • What can I tow in a Mitsubishi? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Montero towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my Montero's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mitsubishi Montero’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mitsubishi Montero? Yes. Mitsubishi Montero transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.

You might even experience transmission failure.
