What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2016 Honda Civic

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 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. Care for your 2016 Honda Civic to maintain its performance power. Follow Honda's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Honda Civic Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2016 Honda Civic drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Civic might need 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. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Honda Civic doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2016 Honda Civic drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
