Why is Your 2009 Matrix’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms.

They're often easy to notice. 2009 Toyota Matrix transmission problems could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Toyota Matrix transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Matrix at all.

2009 Toyota Matrix Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Toyota? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Toyota Matrix? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Matrix’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Matrix is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Matrix? Yes. Toyota Matrix 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.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
