How often should I come in for Jeep Wrangler 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.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Wrangler?

A multitude of problems can activate your Wrangler’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the Wrangler check engine light on your own?

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 Wrangler'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 Wrangler.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Wrangler?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Wrangler. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Wrangler.

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

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1989 Jeep Wrangler

Your Wrangler’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Jeep, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Wrangler’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1989 Jeep Wrangler, 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 Wrangler 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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1989 Jeep Wrangler drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Jeep Wrangler may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. 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 Jeep Wrangler doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 1989 Jeep Wrangler drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
