What are signs my Dodge drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Dodge Neon, 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 will I need Dodge Neon differential service?

Can my Neon malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Neon?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2000 Dodge Neon

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Neon's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Dodge Neon, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Dodge's recommendations.
