Problem for Hyundai 2001 Accent

Transmission not shifting properly




By baxter_mrc on Jul 04, 2009

" "
my accent has 145k km on it. two days ago it stopped shifting into reverse. i can still drive it but it shifts late and hard from 1st into 2nd and when it reaches 4th gear it stays there and won't down shift. I took it into the dealership and they told me i had a 4 gear ratio problem and that i need a new transmission. just wondering if you have seen this before and if it may be something fixable. just don't want to be ripped off by a dealership

Usually transmissions are not fixable. If you're on the original transmission with 145k miles then it's probably had it's life. You could keep driving it like that but it's gonna die soon. I suggest replacing it or buying a new car, whichever is cheaper. A new transmission will cost a couple thousand depending on the year of the car.

My brother has the same problem with his and its at the transmission shop right now having tests done...it could be a sensor issue...the electrical system is sending wrong message to transmission...that's what mechanic said anyway, but wouldnt know for sure until he did troubleshooting tomorrow....
