How often will I need Mitsubishi Starion differential service?

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

Is my Starion’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Starion. 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.
