How does Nissan drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Nissan drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Nissan 370Z, 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 370Z 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 370Z?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 370Z can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the 370Z 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 370Z’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.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my 370Z?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your 370Z, 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.

Is my 370Z’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your 370Z includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your 370Z forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2012 Nissan 370Z

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 370Z's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Nissan, from back to front. It’s one of your 370Z’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2012 Nissan 370Z to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Nissan's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your 370Z might need 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." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Nissan 370Z drives.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2012 Nissan 370Z drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends!
