Your Daytona’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Dodge, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Daytona’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1988 Dodge Daytona, 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 Dodge's recommendations.
