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.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2003 Lincoln Town Car, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Lincoln's recommendations.
