What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2010 Ford Transit Connect

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Transit Connect's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Transit Connect’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2010 Ford Transit Connect, 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 Ford's recommendations.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2010 Ford Transit Connect drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Transit Connect might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Ford Transit Connect doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2010 Ford Transit Connect drivetrain? Again, it depends!
