What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1994 Saab 9000

Your 9000’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Saab, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your 9000 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1994 Saab 9000 to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Saab's recommendations.
