How does Honda drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Honda drivetrain system?

Your Honda Civic 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 Honda Civic 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 Civic’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Civic can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your Civic’s malfunction warning light 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 Civic'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 Civic.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Civic?

If your Civic has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Does my Civic drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Civic’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Civic forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

2000 Honda Civic Drivetrain Service

Your Civic’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Honda, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Honda Civic, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Honda's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Honda Civic Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2000 Honda Civic drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Civic might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. 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.

How much does it cost to fix your 2000 Honda Civic drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
