“Drivetrain” refers to the components of a car that delivers power to the wheels. As we all know, cars need wheels to move at all so this part of the vehicle holds the most importance.
Unlike a powertrain warranty, a drivetrain focuses on the parts that come after the engine.
The following are drivetrain warranty components on manual transmission vehicles:
-
- The Rear axle with hypoid bevel gear
- Final drive
- Flywheel, Clutch
- Gearbox
- Propeller shaft
- Rear axle
- Differential
The following are drivetrain warranty components on automatic transmission vehicles:
-
- The Torque converter
- Transmission
- Propeller shaft
- Rear axle
- Differential
Many tend to confuse drivetrain and powertrain warranties because of how similar they seem, but they both play two different roles when it comes to vehicle protection.
We highly recommend familiarizing yourself with your drivetrain warranty to truly understand all the components that are and are not covered.
Choosing the wrong coverage plan can lead to uncovered repairs that can cost thousands of dollars!

Drivetrain vs. Powertrain: The Difference
The main difference between a drivetrain warranty versus a powertrain warranty are:
- A drivetrain warranty includes coverage for the transmission, driveshaft, axles, and wheels, yet but the motor/engine is not covered.
- A powertrain guarantee is focused on the parts of a car that allow a vehicle move to move. This includes the motor to the transmission itself to every single part allow energy to transfer from the motor to the wheels.
The drivetrain components and the coverage on them actually ensure that a vehicle last well past the core powertrain life. Drivetrain warranties are arguably more important to consider drivetrain coverage in addition to powertrain coverage. The drivetrain warranty option lacks coverage for a vehicle’s protection, but they make up for it by lasting significantly longer.

Whats The Difference Between Insurance and An Extended Car Warranty?
A warranty is a formal guarantee that the manufacturer of a product makes, promising that their product will perform in a particular way for a specific period of time.
Insurance, on the other hand, provides protection when accidents happen to your vehicle.
The warranty is put into place in the event that the product (which is your vehicle) doesn’t perform precisely as specified when initially purchasing it.
When the original manufacturer’s warranty has expired, sometimes manufacturers will choose to offer additional protection, known as an extended warranty.
We highly recommend getting a drivetrain warranty on top of insurance to ensure your investment has total protection!
