What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2005 Mercury Montego

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Montego's engine to its 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: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2005 Mercury Montego, 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.

When to Get Mercury Montego 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 help repair all of your 2005 Mercury Montego drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. 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. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Mercury Montego drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2005 Mercury Montego? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
