Can Mitsubishi service save me money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Mitsubishi drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi Outlander? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Mitsubishi Outlander differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Outlander?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Outlander’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the Outlander malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Outlander?

If your Outlander 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 Outlander’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Outlander. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

2008 Mitsubishi Outlander Drivetrain Service

Your Outlander drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mitsubishi, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Outlander and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mitsubishi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Mitsubishi Outlander Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Outlander might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Mitsubishi Outlander.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander? Again, it depends!
