What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2010 Scion tC

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your tC's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Scion, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your tC and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2010 Scion tC to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Scion's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
