How often will I need Acura NSX differential service?

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.

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

Can my NSX malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my NSX’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your NSX includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your NSX forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1993 Acura NSX

Your NSX drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Acura, from back to front. It’s one of your NSX’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1993 Acura NSX, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Acura's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1993 Acura NSX drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Acura NSX may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
