While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Monte Carlo?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your Monte Carlo. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1983 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 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 Chevrolet's recommendations.
