What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1997 Nissan Quest

Your Quest drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Nissan, from back to front. It’s one of your Quest’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 1997 Nissan Quest to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Nissan's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
