The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer comes with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a CVT transmission that requires 7.5 quarts of CVT fluid. To keep the transmission in good shape, a flush and filter change should be done every 30,000-50,000 miles. Warning signs of transmission issues include hesitating, slipping between gears, surging at idle, and reduced speed performance, possibly dropping below 30 mph. If the transmission is failing, the vehicle may have trouble shifting out of park or engaging properly. Having low fluid levels can lead to burning smells, leaks, and unusual noises like clunking, grinding, or "humming." Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the transmission's lifespan. The average cost of servicing is around $130-$140 for parts and labor, while replacing the entire transmission can be much more expensive, ranging from $2,500 to $3,500.
