What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1999 Land Rover Discovery

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Discovery's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you tune into you 1999 Land Rover Discovery drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. Follow Land Rover's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
