Can Buick service save me money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Buick drivetrain system?

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

When should I come in for Buick Century differential service?

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

What causes a Century’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Century can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can my Century 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.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Century?

If your Century 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 the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Century?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Century is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

All About 1993 Buick Century Drivetrain Service

Your Century drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Buick, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Century and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1993 Buick Century, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Buick's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your Buick 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. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Buick Century drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1993 Buick Century? Again, it depends!
