What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 Honda Fit

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