What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1986 Renault Encore

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Encore's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Encore’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1986 Renault Encore to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Renault's recommendations.
