What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1995 Buick Riviera

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Riviera's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1995 Buick Riviera, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Buick's recommendations.
