How does Nissan drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are signs my Nissan drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Nissan 300ZX, 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 300ZX 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 300ZX’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

A multitude of problems can activate your 300ZX’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can my 300ZX malfunction warning light be reset at home?

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 300ZX serious?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your 300ZX, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my 300ZX’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 300ZX’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 300ZX forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 1991 Nissan 300ZX Drivetrain Service

Your 300ZX’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 the most complex systems in your 300ZX and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1991 Nissan 300ZX, 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.

When to Get Nissan 300ZX Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1991 Nissan 300ZX drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Nissan 300ZX may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. 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 300ZX doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 1991 Nissan 300ZX drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable.
