Can Honda drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

What are signs my Honda drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Honda Civic? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Honda Civic differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Civic?

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

Can you reset your Civic’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Civic serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Civic should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my Civic’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Civic 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 Civic forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1993 Honda Civic

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Civic's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Honda, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Civic and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1993 Honda Civic, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Honda's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
