What happens if I "ride" my Mitsubishi's brakes?

Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use 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 it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Precis’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Precis is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

How often does my Precis transmission fluid need to be checked?

Maintaining your Mitsubishi Precis transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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.
