Hear noises toward the back of your Nissan Maxima? 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 will I need Nissan Maxima 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.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Maxima?

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

Is it possible to reset the Maxima malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Maxima’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 Maxima serious?

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Maxima drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Maxima. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

1991 Nissan Maxima Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Maxima's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Nissan, from back to front. It’s one of your Maxima’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1991 Nissan Maxima, 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 Maxima 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1991 Nissan Maxima drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Maxima might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Nissan Maxima doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 1991 Nissan Maxima drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
