Can Mazda service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Mazda drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mazda MX-6, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mazda MX-6 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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 MX-6?

If your MX-6 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can my MX-6 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my MX-6?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your MX-6, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my MX-6 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your MX-6’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your MX-6 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1991 Mazda MX-6

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your MX-6's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your MX-6 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1991 Mazda MX-6, 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.

When to Get Mazda MX-6 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 go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1991 Mazda MX-6 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Mazda MX-6 may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. 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. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Mazda MX-6.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1991 Mazda MX-6?

Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
