Can my Avenger malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

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

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Avenger 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 Avenger forward.

All About 2008 Dodge Avenger Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Avenger's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Dodge, from back to front. It’s one of your Avenger’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2008 Dodge Avenger, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Dodge's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Dodge Avenger 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2008 Dodge Avenger drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Avenger 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. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Dodge Avenger doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2008 Dodge Avenger drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
