Can Nissan service save me 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.

What are signs my Nissan drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Nissan 240SX, 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 Nissan 240SX 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 240SX?

If your 240SX 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 you reset your 240SX’s malfunction warning light at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your 240SX, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your 240SX to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my 240SX serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your 240SX 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.

Does my 240SX transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 240SX’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 240SX forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

1989 Nissan 240SX Drivetrain Service

Your 240SX’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your 240SX’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1989 Nissan 240SX, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Nissan's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Nissan 240SX 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 Nissan 240SX drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Nissan could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Nissan 240SX doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1989 Nissan 240SX drivetrain repair is expensive. Some smaller differential fixes, 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.
