1983 Mercury Capri Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Capri's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Capri’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1983 Mercury Capri to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercury's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Mercury Capri Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1983 Mercury Capri drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mercury could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mercury Capri doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1983 Mercury Capri? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
