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

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 Ford Mustang

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Mustang's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Mustang and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2018 Ford Mustang to maintain its performance power. Follow Ford's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Ford Mustang Drivetrain Repairs

Your Ford could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Ford Mustang doesn’t drive like it used to.
