The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Montana is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

Care for your 1999 Pontiac Montana to maintain its performance power. Follow Pontiac's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
