What’s the Importance of Your 2005 Matrix’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. 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 Matrix’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Toyota Matrix transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Toyota Matrix transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that you can't drive your Matrix at all.

2005 Toyota Matrix Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Toyota? 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.
  • How much can I tow in a Toyota Matrix? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Matrix’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Matrix transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Toyota Matrix’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Matrix? Yes, your Toyota Matrix can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Matrix 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.
