How does Subaru drivetrain maintenance help save money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Subaru drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Subaru Legacy? 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.

How often should I come in for Subaru Legacy 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 causes a Legacy’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your Legacy 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 my Legacy malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Legacy's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Legacy.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Legacy serious?

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

Does my Legacy drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Legacy. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

All About 2020 Subaru Legacy Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Legacy's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Subaru, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Legacy and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2020 Subaru Legacy, 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 Subaru's recommendations.

Subaru Legacy 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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2020 Subaru Legacy drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Subaru Legacy may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. 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 Subaru Legacy doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2020 Subaru Legacy? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
