What’s the Importance of Your 2010 tC’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your tC’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Scion tC transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Scion tC transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your tC at all.

2010 Scion tC Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Scion? 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.
  • How much can my Scion tow?   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. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Scion tC? Yes. Scion tC transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who can fix my  Scion tC transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair tC transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a tC with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
