All About 2002 Honda Insight Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Insight's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2002 Honda Insight, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Honda's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
