Can Toyota service save me money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Toyota drivetrain system?

Your Toyota Celica drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often will I need Toyota Celica 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.

Why is my Celica malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

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

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Celica?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Celica 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.

Is my Celica’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1984 Toyota Celica

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Celica's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Celica’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 1984 Toyota Celica to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Toyota's recommendations.
