All About 1984 Mercury Topaz Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Topaz's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. 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 1984 Mercury Topaz to maintain its performance power. Follow Mercury's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
