The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Reliant's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Plymouth, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1985 Plymouth Reliant, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Plymouth's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
