Belmont Auto Repair

We can resolve drivetrain issues and help you prevent them.

For the engine to actually move your car forward requires a properly functioning drive train. The drive train is comprised of the transmission, driveshaft, differentials, U-joints, CV-joints, clutch or torque converter, axles, and wheels. Together they take the power of the engine and convert it for mechanical motion use. At TRC Automotive Repair, we can get to the cause of any drive train issue and resolve it so you can be back to driving the Belmont, North Carolina highways before you know it.

At TRC Automotive Repair, we offer drive train services to those in Belmont, Charlotte, Spencer Mountain, Gastonia, Mount Holly, McAdenville, Cramerton, and The Vineyards on Lake Wylie, North Carolina.

There are several symptoms exhibited when there is an issue with the drivetrain, including:

• Unusual noises, such as squeaks or clunking noises which indicate a lubrication issue.
• Knocking or clicking noise which indicates a problem with the CV-joint.
• Shuddering during acceleration indicates either a center bearing issue or a loose U-joint.
• Turning issues which indicate a driveshaft problem which will worsen to become unsafe.
• Clunking sound when shifting gears indicates a driveshaft or transmission issue.
• Leaking transmission fluid can be caused by a number of factors.
• Vibrations are a common symptom of drive train issues and are often due to U-joint problems.
• A vehicle that won’t move is experiencing a major drive train failure and must be towed.

Not only can we resolve drive train issues, but with regular maintenance and sharing our knowledge about the care of your vehicle, we can help you avoid them. Maintenance such as changing the differential fluid every 30,000 to 50,000 miles is a good start. Let us know if you would like to know more about our drivetrain services.
