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?

Noises toward the back of your Nissan D21, 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 D21 differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is my D21 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your D21’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can my D21 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 D21 serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your D21. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your D21.

Does my D21 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your D21 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 D21 forward.
