What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2015 Smart Fortwo

Your Fortwo’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Smart, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Fortwo and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2015 Smart Fortwo, 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 Smart's recommendations.

When to Get Smart Fortwo Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2015 Smart Fortwo drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Smart Fortwo may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on 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. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Smart Fortwo doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2015 Smart Fortwo? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
