What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1989 Mazda 626

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 626's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1989 Mazda 626, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mazda's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Mazda 626 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 help repair all of your 1989 Mazda 626 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your 626 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 difficult to nail down a timeline for 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 Mazda 626 doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1989 Mazda 626 drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal 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.

  • When should I come in for Mazda 626 differential service? We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • What causes a 626’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 626’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Can you reset your 626’s malfunction warning light at home? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your 626’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
  • How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my 626? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your 626. 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 626.
  • Is my 626’s transmission part of the drivetrain? The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system.
