As far as I know the 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe did NOT have a CVT transmission, rather a 4 speed automatic. Mine went well over 300,000 miles (see photo) with original trans and engine.

Tune up spark plugs, wires, check fuel filter, etc... Check distributor, change transmission fluid and coolant. If you need a new distributor I would try looking for a used one online.

I found this solution online: "behind engine immediately in front of rear transmission mount. Held in place by hairpin clip on wire plug and 10 MM screw". Also, Hyundai commonly places a speed sensor against the driveline out on the passenger front wheel hub. This would be right out near the disc brakes, look for the wire. Good luck!

The transmission filter is in the transmission covered by the Trasmission Pan. Need more help get back to me and we'll go from there Thanks Ray

it is located inside the transmission attached to the bottom of the hydraulic control called the valve body, to replace the filter/strained you must remove the pan from the transmission, a very,very messy job.

It may have a screw on type external filter or the filter may be internal. http://www.autoanything.com/Parts/PartsProduct.aspx?CategoryID=3072&TemplatePageID=201&SiloName=transmission-3-26-2004

Some vehicles had filters and some didn't. If you have a filter it will be inside the transmission pan, and in that case there won't be a drain plug. You just take the pan off and try to get as little on you as possible when all the fluid comes out. MUCH easier if you have a lift.

If you don't have a pan then the drain plug is on the bottom. Manual transmissions don't have a pan, but sometimes the automatics didn't either.

Fluid: Hyundai Manual Transmission fluid if it's a 5 speed, and Hyundai ATF or Mitsubishi Triple Diamond ATF only if it's an automatic. Dexron and generic ATF does not fair well in these transmissions.

Call a dealership parts department with the VIN number and see if there is a filter kit available for your vehicle if it has an automatic transmission.

the transmission filter on a 4 cylinder is on the driver side in the engine compartment. it looks like a oil filter right behind the transmission dip stick. i hope this helps. and the drain bolt looks just like a bolt u would use to drain the oil so be careful
