Dan - go to alt.autos.hyundai on the Usenet groups, or use Google Groups to access the group, and ask the question to Hyundaitech on the Hyundai Usenet forum. You will get a quick answer to your query, as he's a certified Hyundai technician.

Super Tech ATF+4 (for use in most chrysler,dodge,plymouth,and some mitsubishi and hyundai automatic transmissions and transaxles) I can also say for sure that most parts in or on the 2000 hyundai elantras are actually made by mitsubishi they have mitsubishi motors and transmissions. Most people know some chrysler transmissions are in fact made by mitsubishi they have bought and used them along with motors since the late 1980's early 1990's . Why pay $8/quart at a dealer when the Super Tech is only $2.80 or a little more I have used it in my 2000 hyundai elantra gls at every change and I'm at 115,000 the tranny shifts perfect,smoothly and I still leave most others at a standstill from the light (40miles/gallon) better than cars today. The only thing that ever gave it a harsh shift was when I had to replace the vacuum tube running from the pump hooked to the intake the harshness was caused by power loss. The fuel pressure regulator looks like it might have formed a small leak over time(oily substance where vac tube connects) but it is working right so it could be oil introduced into the intake via crank case pressure line as on most cars. It is a one owner car also (I bought it new) which shows I've used the super tech way more than once with no problems. To show you all how dealers nail you. When I needed a new regulator for my drivers side window the dealer I bought the car from wanted $89.99 I looked online found an oem parts dealer (actually a hyundai car dealer also) in florida that said the price was $28.99 and shipped two day air it was $47.99 and no tax! That just shows what dealers pay for most things. The rest go's in their pocket! But if in doubt ask any auto parts store they will properly inform you on what to buy.

Mitsubishi only made the 3.0L OHC V6 for Chrysler. And, Chrysler's 4-speed ECT's - which were known for having problems - were made by Chrysler in Michigan - they were not sourced from Mitsubishi. The Elantra Beta Inline 4 started its design life as a Mitsu engine, but Hyundai has made many changes to it. The 4-speed automatic's design in the Elantra is of Mitsu origin, but Hyundai manufacture.
All of this is really beside the point, as ATF+4 does not have the same formulation as SP-III. If the poster wants to use ATF+4 in their 2000 Elantra, so be it. But, Hyundai WILL NOT provide any warranty support for any automatic transmission in a Hyundai that uses any other ATF other than SP-III. One must have documented proof that SP-III ATF was used, otherwise you kiss your 10 Year/100,000 Mile powertrain warranty goodbye. Again, why save a few dollars on a quart of ATF, when a non-warranty replacement transmission will cost you thousands of dollars. It's that old adage: Penny-wise, and Pound-foolish.

04 transmission problem

my dad's '04 elantra w/ 40K miles broke down this week. it developed trans fluid leak. He took to a local garage the car sat overnight by the morning the garage said it was very low on fluid. He took the car to the dealer to see if still was covered by the warranty - the dealer said that since my dad hadn't changed his trany fluid at 30K they would not honor the warranty. can't believe that this was the cause of the transmission leak. what can he do to get the dealer to fix this?

I want to toss it in the trash

I have a 2004 Elantra that I bought with 17 miles on it and it now only has just over 50,000. the new Tranny has only 200 miles on it and guess what my car caught on fire today. I call the dealership and had them tow it, I got a loaner, and now I am lost at what to do. First the new tranny was covered under the warranty. Well when the fire department got where I was they showed me where the tranny lines had not been clamped off. As I looked under the hood of my car. EVERYTHING was covered in wet red fluid.... the fire fighter told me that If I had gone a few more feet my whole car would have been engulfed in flames. The fluid was all over the frame on the battery spark plugs on the engine block every where. SO I told them I want a everything that had any tranny fluid on it replaced. so only time will tell.

It appears that the new transmission wasn't installed properly. If so, that would be human error on the part of the dealership, not the fault of the car. Be sure the dealer's service manager (and maybe owner) are aware of what the fire fighters saw. Also see if you can get a copy of their report--it might mention the unclamped lines.

Just found this list in a search for info on my wife's '01 A/T Elantra which is experiencing the same issue. It did it once last year 2007 and just recently last week. Will have it reviewed by the dealer. Car has 85,000 on it.

Our problem turned out to be an electronic sensor in the tranny. Not covered by the warranty. Cost about $250.00 to replace. Not bad.....

My car has 130K miles on it and has started a shift flare as described by other posters here. It would rev up to 4-5000 rpm or sometimes even more while going 30-40 mph. There is no MIL iluminated right now. Was told by a mechanic that since there's no check engine light on, the sensors (cam/speed) should be OK. I have religiously changed the ATF every 30k miles and now this problem comes out. If I have to spend $450 for a fix, I'd rather donate/trade-in this car and buy a JAP car w/c are more reliable.
