Open the hood, and look for the engine oil dipstick. Then look for another dipstick somewhere in the engine compartment. It will probably be to the right of the engine dipstick, and might be on the back side of the engine/transmission assembly. With the transmission in 'park' or 'neutral' and the engine running, check the fluid level. If the fluid is low, it is added through the dipstick tube, which requires a special, long neck funnel. Be very careful not to overfill the transmission.

To check the automatic transmission fluid on a 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage, first, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running. Locate the transmission dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine bay, and remove it. Wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then pull it out again to check the fluid level; it should be between the "full" and "add" marks. Additionally, inspect the fluid's color and smell—it should be a bright red color and free of burnt odors.
A 1998 Mitsubishi Mirage with an automatic transmission typically requires about 6 to 7 quarts of transmission fluid for a complete fill, including the torque converter. However, the exact amount may vary slightly depending on the specific model and whether you're doing a fluid change or a complete overhaul. Always check the owner’s manual or consult a professional for precise specifications.
To change the transmission filter on a Mitsubishi Mirage, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and secure it with jack stands. Drain the transmission fluid by removing the drain plug, then detach the transmission pan to access the filter. Replace the old filter with a new one, ensuring the gasket is in good condition, and reassemble the pan and drain plug. Finally, refill the transmission with the appropriate fluid and check the level.
For a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage, the recommended transmission fluid is typically Mitsubishi Diamond ATF SP-II or an equivalent automatic transmission fluid that meets the same specifications. It’s important to use the correct type to ensure proper shifting and to maintain the longevity of the transmission. Always refer to the owner's manual or a service guide for confirmation and specific recommendations.

Finally, reattach the transmission pan, refill the transmission with new fluid, and check for leaks.
You can find the fluid capacities for a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage in the owner's manual, which typically includes specifications for engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, and other fluids.
