How does Lincoln drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are signs my Lincoln drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Lincoln Continental, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Lincoln Continental differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Continental’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Continental can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your Continental’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Continental's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Continental.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Continental?

If your Continental has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Continental?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Continental’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Continental forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2001 Lincoln Continental Drivetrain Service

Your Continental’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Lincoln, from back to front. It’s one of your Continental’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2001 Lincoln Continental, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Lincoln's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Lincoln Continental Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2001 Lincoln Continental drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Continental might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Lincoln Continental drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2001 Lincoln Continental drivetrain? Again, it depends!
