1991 Ford Mustang Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Mustang's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1991 Ford Mustang to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Ford's recommendations.

When to Get Ford Mustang 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 help repair all of your 1991 Ford Mustang drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mustang 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." 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 Ford Mustang doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1991 Ford Mustang? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
