All About 2000 Acura RL Drivetrain Service

Your RL drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Acura, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your RL and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2000 Acura RL to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Acura's recommendations.

What Are Acura RL 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. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2000 Acura RL drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your RL might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Acura RL doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2000 Acura RL drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
