All About 1984 Jeep Scrambler Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Scrambler's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Jeep, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Scrambler and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1984 Jeep Scrambler, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Jeep's recommendations.

When to Get Jeep Scrambler Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1984 Jeep Scrambler drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Jeep Scrambler may need driveshaft attention if you feel 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. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. 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 Jeep Scrambler drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 1984 Jeep Scrambler drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
