What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1999 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: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1999 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.

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1999 Pontiac Grand Am drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. 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. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. 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 Pontiac Grand Am drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1999 Pontiac Grand Am? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.

  • Can Pontiac service save me money? Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.
  • What are signs my Pontiac drivetrain is damaged? Hear noises toward the back of your Pontiac Grand Am? 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.
  • 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. 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 Grand Am? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Grand Am’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Can my Grand Am malfunction warning light be reset at home? It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Grand Am, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Grand Am to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Grand Am serious? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Grand Am. 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 Grand Am.
  • Does my Grand Am transmission belong to the drivetrain system? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Grand Am’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Grand Am forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
