Can Oldsmobile drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

What are signs my Oldsmobile drivetrain is damaged?

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

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

Can you clear the Firenza check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Firenza's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Firenza.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Firenza serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Firenza. 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 Firenza.

Does my Firenza transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1985 Oldsmobile Firenza

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Firenza's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Firenza’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1985 Oldsmobile Firenza, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Oldsmobile's recommendations.

When to Get Oldsmobile Firenza Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1985 Oldsmobile Firenza drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Oldsmobile Firenza may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. 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. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Oldsmobile Firenza drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1985 Oldsmobile Firenza? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
