How do I know if my Chevrolet drivetrain is damaged?

Your Chevrolet SSR drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for Chevrolet SSR 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 my SSR malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

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

Can you reset your SSR’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your SSR's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your SSR.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my SSR?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your SSR. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your SSR.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my SSR?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your SSR includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your SSR forward.

All About 2005 Chevrolet SSR Drivetrain Service

Your SSR drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your SSR and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2005 Chevrolet SSR to maintain its performance 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 SSR 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2005 Chevrolet SSR drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your SSR might need 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 Chevrolet SSR drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2005 Chevrolet SSR drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
