All About 1996 Chevrolet G30 Drivetrain Service

Your G30 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Chevrolet, from the axles to the transmission.

Care for your 1996 Chevrolet G30 to maintain its performance power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Chevrolet G30 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 fix many 1996 Chevrolet G30 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your G30 might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. 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. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Chevrolet G30 doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1996 Chevrolet G30? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
