I have an annoying auto. Just afer purchasing the car the transmission went, and luckily it was a 2nd hand car from a dealer and was under warranty. They replaced the auto with a re-co and it is playin up a bit. The changes are sloppy and jerky. My mate whos a mechanic said that my tranny fluid is burnt out, very thin and long over-due for a change. Says it should have been changed even long before I got the car roughly 6 months ago. Is it possible the repairers used the same fluid from the old one? Would chaning the fluid be the answer or does it seem as if I may have other troubles with the tranny? If so, I aint gonna be happy<img src=/images/forums/snitz/guns.gif width=33 height=16 border=0>

Check the fluid. There is 2 dipsticks in your engine. One for oil, one for transmission fluid. Should be labled. Wipe the stick off and redip. The fluid should be a pinkish color. If its darker or looks dirty, have it changed.

Dealer put in a rebuilt transmission? May not even be a Hyundai transmission! I would demand a new one, unless that was under contract and was ok to put in used parts.

I have attempted changing the fluid, but the store I got the gasket and filter from gave me the wrong filter...but my mechanic mate is makin one from some gasket paper at his work...waitin for him to rock up now! <img src=/images/forums/snitz/tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

As for the tranny swap, they said they were not able to get new ones but re-coed ones. And by judging the shards of metal I found in my fluid cap, the person who put it in was far from a mechanic...a true potch job! After new fluid goes in, I am going to be watching the fluid and if it burns out like the old far too quickly...I aint gonna be happy. I will send that thing off for repairs. I have about 5-6 months left of warranty, so if it stuffs up in that time I am gonna rip their heads off! <img src=/images/forums/snitz/guns.gif width=33 height=16 border=0> The FIRST night I took the car home it buggered up with the tranny and one month later was changed...2 tranny changes during warranty? Not for me please.
