Drivetrain & Differential Repair in Redding, CA

CV Axles, Driveshafts, Differentials & Transfer Case Service

The drivetrain transfers power from your engine to your wheels. When any part of it wears or fails, you notice it immediately — vibrations, clunking, or complete loss of drive. NorCal Precision Auto & Electric Repair in Redding diagnoses and repairs all drivetrain components for front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive vehicles.

Understanding the System

How Your Drivetrain Works

Your drivetrain is the complete system that transmits engine power to the wheels. It includes the transmission, driveshaft or axles, differential, and for 4WD/AWD vehicles, the transfer case.

1
CV Axles (FWD/AWD)
Flexible shafts that deliver power to the front wheels through steering angles
2
Driveshaft (RWD/4WD)
The long shaft that carries power from the transmission to the rear axle
3
Differential
Allows wheels to spin at different speeds when cornering
4
Transfer Case (4WD/AWD)
Splits power between front and rear axles
5
U-joints & Boots
Flexible joints that allow the drivetrain to flex and move
