Can Geo drivetrain maintenance help me 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?

Your Geo Storm drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often will I need Geo Storm differential service?

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

If your Storm has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can my Storm malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Storm's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Storm.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Storm?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Storm, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my Storm’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Storm. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1990 Geo Storm, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Geo's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
