What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Subaru Legacy

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Legacy's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Legacy and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Subaru Legacy, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Subaru's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
