Can Saturn drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Saturn drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Saturn SL, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Saturn SL differential service?

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

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my SL?

If your SL has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the SL check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your SL, 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 SL to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my SL?

A drivetrain malfunction in your SL 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.

Does my SL transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your SL’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your SL forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1994 Saturn SL

Your SL’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1994 Saturn SL, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Saturn's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Saturn SL Drivetrain Repairs

Your SL might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
