What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1994 Porsche 911

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 911's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Porsche, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1994 Porsche 911, 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 Porsche's recommendations.
