Can Mazda drivetrain maintenance help me save 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?

Hear noises toward the back of your Mazda MX-6? 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.

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

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What causes a MX-6’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

A multitude of problems can activate your MX-6’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 MX-6 check engine light on your 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.

Does my MX-6 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your MX-6 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your MX-6 forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1993 Mazda MX-6

Your MX-6’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Mazda, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your MX-6 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 1993 Mazda MX-6 to maintain its performance 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

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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1993 Mazda MX-6 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your MX-6 might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mazda MX-6 doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1993 Mazda MX-6 drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends!
