#2697 of 3018 Re: Trans Flush & Timing Belt replacement [de1029] by Mr_Shiftright HOST Oct 24, 2008 (7:47 am)
Replying to: de1029 (Oct 24, 2008 7:06 am) Are there codes that were found? What were they?   Well sure a transmission service is a lot cheaper than a new transmission. I'd do that right away and see how the symptoms go. Also have the trans. codes read. It might only be some kind of shifting solenoid. If it's a stuck valve in the valve body then perhaps a service would help. You could also try some Sea Foam transmission additive. I think it's called Trans Tune. But you need the service, ,too.   Visiting Host Replies to this message: newowner10 (Oct 24, 2008 10:32 am) de1029 (Oct 24, 2008 10:53 am) de1029 (Oct 24, 2008 10:50 am) Mr_Shiftright (Oct 24, 2008 1:23 pm) de1029 (Oct 27, 2008 8:12 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 24, 2008 7:47 am) Get an estimate for transmission repair. You could easily be $1500 to $3000 if there is wear of parts and of course there is wear it has 110,000 miles on it. If you have a whining that it is getting louder and slipping I would not be very optimistic. Replies to this message: de1029 (Oct 24, 2008 10:53 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 24, 2008 7:47 am) There is no CHECK ENGINE situation...ergo, NO CODE. Sorry if I led anyone astray. My point was, like a Check Engine light going on for a speed sensor failure...that is how the subtle/slight 'shift' FEELS. I will schedule the trans flush job. And, should the timing belt be done at the same time? Thanks, Joe Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 24, 2008 1:23 pm) de1029 (Oct 27, 2008 8:12 am)

Replying to: newowner10 (Oct 24, 2008 10:32 am) Thanks for the ESTIMATE...obviously I am NOT thinking too clearly. I hadn't thought of that. The 'whining' is in the drive gears...so that is NOT the engine BUT may well be my TRANS saying good bye to me??? At 1500 to 3000 dollars...it will have to be AWAY SHE GOES. Thanks, Joe

Replying to: de1029 (Oct 24, 2008 10:50 am) No I'd wait on the timing belt to see if this transmission settles down or not. Replies to this message: de1029 (Oct 27, 2008 8:12 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 24, 2008 1:23 pm) Transmisison Service was completed last Friday. Walked into mechanic's shop (aka Tires Plus!) and asked them to advise me. We took a walk out to the car and owner said 'sound' I was hearing was normal. No prolem with transmission. They completed the Transmission Flush Service. I am happy...cost approx. $90.00 with his discounts. As to timing belt: found bill for 60,000 miles job - approx $325.00 for timing belt replacement (labor & parts...yea, you guessed it, part less than $90.00...There oughta be a law!). Actual mileage at job was 59,100...so, I will tempt fate (at 111000 miles now) and continue driving it for another 5000 miles..OR SO. Hey, thanks all, for responses and suggestions. I do appreciate it. And, if anyone has some other comments about this situation...I am all EARS.   Joe

Well you have nothing to lose by seeing if the Transmission holds up. I would get estimates on the timing belt after you decide the transmission is solid.
#2704 of 3018 Allen Wrench Socket by notam Oct 28, 2008 (11:58 am)
I need to change the brake pads on my 2005 Sonata V6 2.7 L. I left my set of allen wrench sockets in another province, so I'd rather just buy a single socket to do this brake job.....does anybody know what size of allen wrench socket is required to remove the calipers on my car?   Please and thanks, Mike

Replying to: backy (Sep 14, 2008 6:35 pm) My 2006 SONATA has reached 30k miles. I had done the 15k services ($270) on Hyundai dealership before. The manager there keeps reminding me that I shall have the 30k service done on the car. But it cost $580 for the 30k miles major services. And other non dealer shops only charge less than $200 for a 30k miles major services.   Anyone on board knows whether Sonata needs some special cares which only dealer can guarantee? Should it be Toyota cars, I am confident to give to any shop for service. But I am not sure if Sonata use any kind of special oil/fluid (brake, transmission etc) which can be found only at Hyundai dealer. We know Honda cars can only use Honda transmission fluid otherwise the clutches will be damaged.

Replying to: hongwu (Oct 29, 2008 2:11 pm) You do have to use the specified tannsmission fluid on a Hyundai. But you should be able to buy it from a Hyundai dealer and have someone else do the work. Replies to this message: hongwu (Oct 30, 2008 3:37 pm) bhmr59 (Oct 30, 2008 6:42 pm)
