All About 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix Drivetrain Service

Your Grand Prix’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Pontiac, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Pontiac's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
