Can Honda drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Honda drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Honda CRX? 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 CRX 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 CRX?

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

Is it possible to reset the CRX malfunction warning light on my own?

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 CRX serious?

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my CRX?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your CRX is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

All About 1988 Honda CRX Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your CRX's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Honda, from back to front. It’s one of your CRX’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1988 Honda CRX to maintain its performance power. Follow Honda's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Honda CRX 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1988 Honda CRX drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your CRX might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, 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." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Honda CRX doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1988 Honda CRX? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
