Can Nissan drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Nissan drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Nissan 200SX, 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 Nissan 200SX 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 200SX?

A multitude of problems can activate your 200SX’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the 200SX malfunction warning light on my 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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my 200SX serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your 200SX should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 200SX?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 200SX’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 200SX forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
