What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1985 Nissan Maxima

Your Maxima’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Nissan, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your Maxima’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 1985 Nissan Maxima to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Nissan's recommendations.
