Can Chevrolet drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Chevrolet drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 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 Chevrolet Monte Carlo differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Monte Carlo?

If your Monte Carlo has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Is it possible to reset the Monte Carlo 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 Monte Carlo serious?

If your Monte Carlo 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.

Does my Monte Carlo transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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