Chrysler Voyager 1984-1990 Drivetrain Specifications

The 1984-1990 Chrysler Voyager typically features a front-wheel-drive system with a 3-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. Compatible drivetrain components include the TorqueFlite A413 automatic transmission or the A525 manual transmission. Ensure compatibility by matching engine types (2.2L or 2.6L) and model years. Always verify part numbers with the manufacturer or a trusted supplier before purchasing.

Regular maintenance for the Voyager's drivetrain includes checking and replacing transmission fluid every 30,000 miles, inspecting CV joints and axles for wear, and ensuring proper lubrication of moving parts. The differential fluid should be changed every 50,000 miles. Regularly inspect the driveshaft and mounts for damage or wear to prevent drivetrain failure.

To replace the transmission, first disconnect the battery and drain the transmission fluid. Remove the driveshaft, shift linkage, and electrical connectors. Support the engine and remove the transmission crossmember. Lower the transmission carefully using a jack. Install the new transmission by reversing the steps, ensuring proper alignment and torque specifications for all bolts and connections.

Noises from the drivetrain may indicate worn CV joints, a failing transmission, or damaged driveshaft components. Inspect the CV joints for cracks or leaks, check the transmission fluid level and condition, and examine the driveshaft for imbalance or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts and ensure proper lubrication to resolve the issue.

To optimize drivetrain performance, use high-quality synthetic transmission fluid and ensure proper fluid levels. Regularly inspect and replace worn components like CV joints and mounts. Upgrade to performance-oriented parts if available, such as reinforced driveshafts or aftermarket transmission coolers. Proper alignment and balancing of drivetrain components also enhance performance and longevity.
