What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Mercedes-Benz C350

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your C350's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your C350’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Mercedes-Benz C350, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
