How often will I need Plymouth Acclaim 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 my Acclaim malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

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

Can you clear the Acclaim 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 Acclaim'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 Acclaim.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Acclaim?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Acclaim should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Acclaim drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Acclaim 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 Acclaim forward.

All About 1990 Plymouth Acclaim Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Acclaim's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Plymouth, from back to front. It’s one of your Acclaim’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1990 Plymouth Acclaim to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Plymouth's recommendations.

Plymouth Acclaim 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 go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1990 Plymouth Acclaim drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Plymouth could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. 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 Plymouth Acclaim drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 1990 Plymouth Acclaim drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
