What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider

Your Spider’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Spider’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Alfa Romeo's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
