1992 Honda Civic Drivetrain Service

Your Civic drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Honda, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Civic’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1992 Honda Civic, 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 Honda's recommendations.

When to Get Honda Civic Drivetrain Repairs

Your Honda Civic may need driveshaft attention if you feel 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." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Honda Civic drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1992 Honda Civic? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
