What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2004 Mitsubishi Galant

Your Galant’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

Care for your 2004 Mitsubishi Galant to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mitsubishi's recommendations.
