2011 Porsche Boxster Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Boxster's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Boxster’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2011 Porsche Boxster, 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 Porsche's recommendations.

What Are Porsche Boxster 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 2011 Porsche Boxster drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Porsche could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Porsche Boxster doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2011 Porsche Boxster? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
