Can Mercury service save me money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercury drivetrain system?

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

When should I come in for Mercury Tracer 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Tracer?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Tracer’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my Tracer malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 Tracer'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 Tracer.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Tracer serious?

If your Tracer has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is my Tracer’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1992 Mercury Tracer

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Tracer'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 1992 Mercury Tracer, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mercury's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Mercury Tracer 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 fix many 1992 Mercury Tracer drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Mercury could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice 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. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." 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 Mercury Tracer drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1992 Mercury Tracer? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
