How does Geo drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Geo drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Geo Metro, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Geo Metro differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Metro’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Metro’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Metro check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Metro, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Metro to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

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

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Metro. 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 Metro.

Is my Metro’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Metro 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 Metro forward.

1991 Geo Metro Drivetrain Service

Your Metro’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Metro’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1991 Geo Metro, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Geo's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your Geo 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. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate.
