Trans fluid capacity

I've only seen that on cars that have a vacuum modulator on the trans, but I don't imagine that those are in use for some time now. if you've got one, that's your problem.

Hi, your 1999 Hyundai Accent will need about 3.5 - 4 quarts of 5w30 Motor oil.

Overheating can be Because of
1. Bad or No Fluid in Radiator 2. A damage in Radiator / Radiator Fan 3. Chocked air filter 4. bad Quality Lubrication
Make sure your Radiator fluid is filled . make sure Radiator belt is ok and Radiator Fan running well . always use Good Quality Gas . Renew air filter regularly . Check Lube oil Quality.
My Solution above is not a definite advice until it is Physically inspected .

"SP III". ... Mopar ATF Plus Type 7176 or Hyundai
Fluid.

the last time I changed the oil in a manual tranny that is all I had to do, the level in mine was determined by putting an 1/8 bend in a piece of wire, add oil then check to see if you can touch the oil with the wire, when it does it is full enough.

the trans must be overhauled, the forward clutch pack is worn out.

okay. there could be a couple of problems with your transmission.
1). it's quite possible that the clutch discs inside of your transmission have finally burned out. Hyundai has been known for making faulty transmissions for the accent for the first generation models.
2). if the car doesn't go in first gear, try driving it in normal mode and not economy. the accent purposely pulls in second gear in economy mode, when warmed up, in order to get into the high 30 mpgs.
3). faulty shift control solenoid. These have also been known to be defective with the first generation accent (1995-1999).
4). Your transmission fluid leaked out, prior to the mechanic fixing it, and the high heat building up in the transmission as well as the low amount of fluid in the transmission helped to burn it out.
for options 1 and 4, you wont know the actual problem unless you pull the transmission out and examine all of the clutch discs.
hope this helps...

This Vechile takes Hyundai ATF SP-II M Transmission fluid, any other type of fluid can cause issues with the trans.

Artie first check the fluid level with the trans warm Idleing in neutral if it is low top it up with only hyundai trans fluid if this also if the fluid has a strong aroma to it, the fluid should be replaced although this is a sign of a failure in the trans and will be getting close to the time where it needs to be replaced

If your transmission fluid level is okay, then you need a new speedometer cable. Its not terribly difficult to replace, but it does require you to pull the instrument cluster. A local Hyundai dealership might be willing to photocopy the specific speedometer cable replacement instructions out of the 2004 Accent shop manual.
