What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2020 Honda Insight

Your Insight drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Honda, from back to front. It’s one of your Insight’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2020 Honda Insight to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Honda's recommendations.

Honda Insight Drivetrain Repairs
