Your Clarity’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Honda, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Clarity’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2017 Honda Clarity to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Honda's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Honda Clarity Drivetrain Repairs

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2017 Honda Clarity drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Clarity might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
