FAQ's - Drivetrain Repair

1. What parts are included in the drivetrain?

 

A vehicle’s drivetrain isn't just one part of your vehicle—it's a system of components that work together with the engine to move your car. This system typically includes the transmission, differential, engine, driveshaft, axles, CV joints, and wheels. Al of these parts play a role in delivering power to your vehicle and getting you on the move.

 

2. What are the common signs of drivetrain problems?
 

• Unusual noises such as clunking, grinding, or whining

• Vibrations or shuddering during acceleration

• Difficulty shifting gears or slipping gears

• Fluid leaks under the vehicle

• Warning lights on the dashboard, such as the check engine or powertrain light

 

3. Can I drive my vehicle with a failing drivetrain?

 

Yes, in ‘some’ cases, it is possible to drive short distances with minor drivetrain issues, but we do not recommend this. Continuing to drive your vehicle can lead to further damage, which will be more expensive to fix.

​

However, we offer FREE towing with major repairs, so call us and we'll schedule a tow!  Another great reason not to risk driving your vehicle any further!

 

4. How can I prevent drivetrain problems?

Regular maintenance of your drivetrain is key to prolonging the life of your drivetrain:

• Stick to service intervals that your manufacturer recommends

• Address any strange noises or vibrations – don’t put off!

• Avoid aggressive driving, especially when the vehicle is in 4WD or AWD mode

• Monitor fluid levels and top them off as required

• Proactive maintenance can often help avoid the need for more significant and expensive repairs later on.
