Can Mercury service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Mercury drivetrain is damaged?

Your Mercury Lynx drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often will I need Mercury Lynx 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 Lynx’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Lynx’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my Lynx malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Lynx's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Lynx.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Lynx serious?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Lynx, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

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

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Lynx includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Lynx forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1986 Mercury Lynx

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Lynx's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Mercury, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Lynx and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1986 Mercury Lynx, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mercury's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Mercury Lynx Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1986 Mercury Lynx drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Lynx might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Mercury Lynx drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1986 Mercury Lynx? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
