Can Mercury drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercury drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Mercury LN7, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mercury LN7 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a LN7’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

A multitude of problems can activate your LN7’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the LN7 check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my LN7?

If your LN7 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my LN7?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your LN7’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your LN7 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 1983 Mercury LN7 Drivetrain Service

Your LN7 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Mercury, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 1983 Mercury LN7 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.

Mercury LN7 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1983 Mercury LN7 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mercury LN7 may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mercury LN7 doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1983 Mercury LN7? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
