How does Acura drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are signs my Acura drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Acura TSX, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Acura TSX differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a TSX?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your TSX’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the TSX malfunction warning light on my own?

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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my TSX serious?

If your TSX has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my TSX’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your TSX’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your TSX forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2010 Acura TSX Drivetrain Service

Your TSX 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 the most complex systems in your TSX and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2010 Acura TSX, 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.

Acura TSX Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2010 Acura TSX drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Acura TSX may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Acura TSX.

How much does it cost to fix your 2010 Acura TSX drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
