2005 Dodge Viper Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Viper's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Dodge, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Viper and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2005 Dodge Viper to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Dodge's recommendations.

Dodge Viper 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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2005 Dodge Viper drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Dodge could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.

How much does it cost to fix your 2005 Dodge Viper drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
