Drivetrain Edition
Your car's drivetrain is a vital power-transmitting component
,and key to dependability. It's responsible for transmitting the flow of power
from the engine to the wheels. The components include the clutch, torque
converter, transmission, driveshaft (or axle shafts in front wheel drive),
Ujoints, CV joints, differential and axles.
Most motorists take these components for granted until something
goes wrong. That "something" can range from leaks or strange noises to shifting
problems to total failure. If you do a lot of stop-and-go-driving, tow a trailer
or otherwise subject your vehicle to unusual service, check your owners manual
for recommendations. With regular checks and maintenance you can expect two
bonuses: a more dependable car, as well as fewer and smaller repair bills.
