Questions About 1988 Mitsubishi Van’s Transmission

  • How much can I tow in a Mitsubishi Van? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is.

  • Does my Van's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Mitsubishi Van transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mitsubishi, so check with your technician first. 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 Van? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Mitsubishi Van, potentially causing transmission problems.
