Can Mitsubishi drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

How do I know if my Mitsubishi drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi Van? 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.

How often should I come in for Mitsubishi Van differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my Van malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your Van’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

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

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Van's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Van.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Van?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Van, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Van?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Van’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Van forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1990 Mitsubishi Van

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Van's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Van and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1990 Mitsubishi Van, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mitsubishi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Mitsubishi Van 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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1990 Mitsubishi Van drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Mitsubishi Van may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. 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 Van.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1990 Mitsubishi Van? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
