What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2011 Toyota Sienna

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Sienna's engine to its 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 2011 Toyota Sienna, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Toyota's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Toyota Sienna Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2011 Toyota Sienna drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. 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. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Toyota Sienna doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2011 Toyota Sienna? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
