Your Sienna drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Toyota, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Sienna and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Toyota Sienna, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Toyota's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your Sienna might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
