What Does Your Mitsubishi Starion Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Mitsubishi Starion transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Mitsubishi Starion transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Starion’s not even driveable.

1985 Mitsubishi Starion Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mitsubishi? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mitsubishi? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Starion is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Starion's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mitsubishi Starion’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 Starion? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mitsubishi Starion, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who does Mitsubishi Starion transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Starion transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Mitsubishi Starion if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Starion if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
