2006 Scion tC Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Scion's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Scion? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your tC towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your tC is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my tC's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Scion tC transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Scion. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Scion tC leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Scion tC, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Can I still drive my Scion tC if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your tC with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
