What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser

Your PT Cruiser’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.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Chrysler's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
