What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2000 Saturn SC1

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your SC1's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Saturn, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your SC1 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Saturn SC1, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Saturn's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
