What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK430

Your CLK430 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from the axles to the transmission.

When you tune into you 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK430 drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
