What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1996 Lincoln Town Car

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Town Car'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: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1996 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.

What Are Lincoln Town Car Drivetrain Repairs
