What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1997 Nissan 240SX

Your 240SX drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you tune into you 1997 Nissan 240SX drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Nissan's recommendations.
