What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1999 Pontiac Grand Am

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Grand Am's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Grand Am’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1999 Pontiac Grand Am, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Pontiac's recommendations.
