What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis

Your Grand Marquis’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercury, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis, 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 Mercury's recommendations.

Your Mercury Grand Marquis may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
