Why is Your 2009 xD’s Transmission So Important?

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 tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Scion xD transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Scion xD transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your xD’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2009 Scion xD’s Transmission

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Scion tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your xD towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my xD transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 xD’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Scion's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Scion xD? Yes. Scion xD 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.
  • Where can I get my  Scion xD transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for xD transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Scion xD if it has 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.
