Is my SS’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

All About 2017 Chevrolet SS Drivetrain Service

Your SS’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Chevrolet, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2017 Chevrolet SS to maintain its performance power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Chevrolet SS Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2017 Chevrolet SS drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your SS might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. 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 SS doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2017 Chevrolet SS drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
