The transaxle is made up of the transmission and the differential. The transmission controls the power in the car and which gear the car is in. The differential controls at what speed the outer and inner wheels turn. When this system works well, you can turn on any terrain.

When the drivetrain system fails, the gears squeal, there is smoke which comes out the exhaust and the car is not as responsive as it should be. Keep your car in great shape by making an appointment at Mr Spanners Automotive today!

The drivetrain configuration differs depending on whether it is a front wheel, rear wheel, all wheel or four wheel drive vehicle.

• In front wheel drive the transaxle is connected to the wheels and sends power through a constant velocity joint.
• In a rear wheel drive vehicle the drive shaft is connected with a universal joint to the rear wheels.
• In all wheel drive vehicles the system is similar to front wheel drive vehicles with an additional centre and rear differential. The power is sent to the front or rear tyres depending on the terrain.

• Smoke coming from the exhaust
• A squealing when the gears are changing
• Lag time when changing gears
• Liquid leaking under the vehicle
