What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2000 Saturn LS2

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your LS2's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Saturn, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your LS2 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Saturn LS2, 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 Saturn's recommendations.
