What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1998 Chrysler Town & Country

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Town & Country's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Town & Country and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1998 Chrysler Town & Country to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Chrysler's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1998 Chrysler Town & Country?

Questions About 1998 Chrysler Town & Country

Drivetrain problems mean driving problems. Get answers to common drivetrain questions and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for drivetrain help.

  • Can Chrysler service save me money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • How do I know if my Chrysler drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Chrysler Town & Country, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • How often should I come in for Chrysler Town & Country differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Town & Country? If your Town & Country has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.
  • Is it possible to reset the Town & Country malfunction warning light on my own? While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Town & Country's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Town & Country.
  • How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Town & Country? If your Town & Country has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.
  • Is my Town & Country’s transmission part of the drivetrain? The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Town & Country is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
