Can Pontiac drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a LeMans?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your LeMans can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

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

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your LeMans’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my LeMans?

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

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my LeMans?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your LeMans 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 LeMans forward.

All About 1989 Pontiac LeMans Drivetrain Service

Your LeMans’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Pontiac, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your LeMans and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1989 Pontiac LeMans, 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.

What Are Pontiac LeMans Drivetrain Repairs

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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1989 Pontiac LeMans drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your LeMans might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. 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 Pontiac LeMans.

How much does it cost to fix your 1989 Pontiac LeMans drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
