Gear box dip stick location- hyundai lantra automatic

Here's a link to see. Mercedes SLK230 Transmission Fluid Inspection

If memory serves, the IAT is located at the engine air filter air box (LH side). Couldn't find a illustration/photo to help you locate it instantly

Sorry.

Hi B,
Is your vehicle automatic or manual? If its automatic start the engine and leave it idling. With the engine running check the gearbox oil level on the transmission dip stick (the one with the red top) and make sure that the fluid level is correct. If not, top up through the same tube where the dip stick fits. Don't over fill. If the fault persists the problem will be inside the gear box with the clutch and drive bands having most likely been damaged. The best and most economical way of fixing the vehicle will be to look for and get a good second hand box and have it fitted.
If its manual there is a probability that the syncro mesh cone has worn out. To repair the box is not very economically viable, so I'd recommend the same as for the auto box. Get a good second hand box and fir that.

Check the gear box oil level....I'm thinking that you have a auto box....this should be done on level ground and with the engine running at idle speed....To check level correctly place your foot onto the brake hard and also select the parking brake....With the engine running, move the selector lever from park into reverse and then to neutral then to 'D', followed by the lower range gears and then moving up to 'D', and then to neutral again and then to reverse and back to neutral....Leave each position engaged for about one second....Leaving the engine running and the park brake engaged check that the gear box oil is at the correct level....It should be between the marks indicated on the red topped dip stick....When filling with Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) through the same tube where dip stick is located the engine should also be running and care taken not to over fill....Once at the correct level the vehicle should behave normally.

Hi,

Good thing you know the dipstick is located!

Try to use a funnel that fits in the dipstick tube, insert the funnel in the hole of the tube and pour the ammount of fluid you needed to top up your transmission.

Hope that helps you a lot!

Thanks for using Fixya!

Gear Box Oil refers to manual transmission normally. Goes in a 1/2 inch or so hole in the side of the box. You don't need to add unless it is leaking. Remove the plug and put your finger into the hole. If you get oil on your finger, it is full.

I'm not familiar with a 'vautomatic' ... if this is a type of automatic in the Suzuki (I am a Suzuki MC expert) you will find the dip stick in the engine compartment. There will actually be two dip sticks ... one for engine oil (black) and one for the trans (oil should be red or pink). If it is dark or smells burnt, have it replaced.

That dip stick is for the gear box to let you know how much gear oil is in the gear box.This is not for the automatic trany fluid if it is an automatic.The standard trany will have the same stick just to let you know if there is enough gear lube.

\'93 Hyundai Lantra, automatic transmission has trouble changing up from 1st to 2nd, it tends to rev on a bit, clunks once or twice before changing to 2nd, other gears seem to be ok. Oil levels are ok and have recently replaced the transmission oil (yes the correct oil was used)

hi
remove the speed senser from gear box and put trans oil in . this is only one way if u dont have filler plug

the lantra gearbox is a Mitsubishi unit and i think it does not have bands just clutches.
