What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1996 Plymouth Neon

Your Neon drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Plymouth, from back to front. It’s one of your Neon’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1996 Plymouth Neon, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Plymouth's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Plymouth Neon 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 go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1996 Plymouth Neon drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. 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 parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Plymouth Neon.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1996 Plymouth Neon? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
