What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Mercury Montego

Your Montego’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Mercury, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Montego’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2006 Mercury Montego to maintain its performance 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

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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2006 Mercury Montego drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Mercury Montego may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. 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 Montego doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2006 Mercury Montego drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
