Can Lincoln drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How often will I need Lincoln Town Car differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Town Car?

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

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Town Car’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Town Car serious?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1983 Lincoln Town Car

Your Town Car’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 the most complex systems in your Town Car and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1983 Lincoln Town Car, 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.

Your Town Car might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
