What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2009 Scion tC

Your tC’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Scion, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Scion tC, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Scion's recommendations.

We can take care of most 2009 Scion tC drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft.

How much does it cost to fix your 2009 Scion tC drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
