Questions About 1998 Toyota Sienna’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Toyota'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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Toyota? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Sienna's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Toyota Sienna’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Toyota Sienna leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Sienna, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who does Toyota Sienna transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Sienna transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Sienna with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Sienna to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
