When should I come in for Pontiac Grand Am differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Can you reset your Grand Am’s malfunction warning light at home?

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 Grand Am's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

A drivetrain malfunction in your Grand Am 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.

Is my Grand Am’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Grand Am 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 Grand Am forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1991 Pontiac Grand Am

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Grand Am's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Grand Am’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 Pontiac Grand Am, 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 Pontiac's recommendations.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1991 Pontiac Grand Am drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Grand Am might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.
