What Does Your Scion xB Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. They're often easy to notice. Scion xB transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Scion xB transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your xB at all.

2006 Scion xB Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Scion? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Scion? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your xB towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my xB's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Scion xB’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Scion, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Scion xB leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Scion xB can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your xB ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

You might even experience transmission failure.
