How does Nissan drivetrain maintenance help 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?

Hear noises toward the back of your Nissan 240SX? 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 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.

What causes a 240SX’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 240SX’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the 240SX check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your 240SX’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

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.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 240SX?

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.
