Follow Acura's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Acura ILX Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair.

Your Acura could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

How much does it cost to fix your 2020 Acura ILX drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
