What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1986 Chevrolet Corvette

Your Corvette drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Chevrolet, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Corvette’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1986 Chevrolet Corvette, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Chevrolet's recommendations.

What Are Chevrolet Corvette 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 fix many 1986 Chevrolet Corvette drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Corvette 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. 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 Chevrolet Corvette drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 1986 Chevrolet Corvette drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
