Wait, I just thought about something my wife said , For the past month when she put the car in gear and drove it ... It would like make like a miss in the engine, Then the miss got worse in time...Could the be related to the transmission..? If you let it idiol in Park it idiols fine with just a small miss once and awhile Not like when its in gear ..

Slippage when cold is often a symptom of a weak transmission pump, but it could also be caused by a clog in the valve body. I ran into the same issue with my Dodge pickup.
 
How long since the transmission fluid was changed?

35,000... It's due for one ...It should have been done at 30,000. I just didn't think a filter change alone would fix it from other post I seen. Guess it can't hurt , just didn'tr want to waste my money. The last time it was done the guy put dextron spIII, Maybe that has something to do with it also. He told me that is good for anything. Is that true..?

Like I said, I don't know anything much about Hyundais, but I know that some automatics are very picky about what kind of fluid you use. So a fluid change might be the answer.
 
But for some reason, maybe because it happened so suddenly, I suspect you will be spending real money for a transmission rebuild instead.

I found this online. It does not look promising:
 
On the downside, the automatic transmission requires a special SPF-3 AT fluid sold only at Hyundai. When Dextron is used, the transmission will fail internally.

1999 Hyundai Elantra transmission issue by bigwillie0826
Mar 25, 2009 (2:21 pm)

My 1999 Hyundai Elantra 2.0 auto shifts through first and second and when it shifts again it seams to be down shifting and I lose speed drastically. This only happens when going uphill. downhill and flat runs great. I start out doing 60 and by the time I get to the top of the hill (about a quarter of a mile) I'm doing a steady 30 mph. This happens on any grade of hill from small to large. From a standstill I can hear it shift from first to second and then to third but it seams to downshift and revs very high and i steadily lose speed until I'm doing 30 mph when it should be third gear and a steady acceleration.
 
I have already checked a few things so here they are.
Transmission fluid and filter change (no plastic or metal pieces or even metal dust in pan) just a small amount of sludge.
Fuel filter, pump, pressure, and sending unit fine.
Air filter and throttle body fine.
PCV valve fine.
Timing belt was loose but tightened and fine.
Spark plugs, wires and coil packs fine.
 
I have a small exhaust leak but can't seem to find it and a small oil leak which I can't seam to find either.
It has 140,000 miles on it but the MPG is great so I really love this car and really want to fix it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Did you use the Hyundai required transmission fluid? A generic trans fluid can cause transmission problems.
