What to Know

Some major parts of your vehicle’s drivetrain include the transmission, driveshaft, axles, joints, torque converter, clutch, and differential. There are numerous other smaller parts, too. The most important element of drivetrain repair is prevention. It’s a best practice to bring your transportation to MIT Drivetrain Specialists for regular service. We’ll check the fluids and change them as the manufacturer recommends or as otherwise needed. We can also help you maintain proper alignment. This reduces stress and premature wear on the drivetrain components. Although anything can go wrong, the most common trouble with the drivetrain is in the transmission. It’s important to monitor for signs of problems and schedule an appointment with us as soon as you observe something unusual. Transmission issues don’t get better on their own. The longer you wait to repair, the more damage and expense you’ll incur. Indicators include difficult shifts, slipping gears, burning smells, delayed take-off, and sometimes even an illuminated check engine light if the problem with the transmission is electrical. Other common repairs for off-road drivers include torn CV boots, damaged joints, and axle fissures.
