Replying to: somedai1 (Dec 29, 2007 9:15 am) Then, on the same day, I took it to the dealer. They said right off the bat from what I was describing to them, that I needed new transmission oil. They looked at the stick and said I had just about none and that what I did have was brown, not yet burnt, but brown and needed to be changed. (Fresh oil is pink). They did the diagnostic. And they said just about the same thing that Aamco did. Except they told me that I had no fluid at all and that was why my car was bucking like a horse and why the engine light was on. That crack that Aamco mentioned is causing the fluid to leak right out. Anything that goes in, comes right out. Korean parts are hard to get, so it'll take a few days before it comes in and thankfully, it is under the 100,000/ 10 year warranty. What they did for me was put in enough oil so I'd be fine driving until the part comes in. And immediately, I noticed a difference. No bucking. Easy shifting. My car transmission troubles are over! Thanks for your help.

Replying to: somedai1 (Jan 01, 2008 6:59 pm) Seeing it would make more sense to me. Visual learner. I'll ask them if I can see it once it's up. So, what you're saying is that because I've driven -- for I don't know how long -- without fluid that I could have permanent damage to the transmission?

Replying to: faith08 (Jan 02, 2008 6:35 am) yeah- if you run the car without enough tranny fluid - it can mess it up... over 600 for just the part? or to install?

I have a 2001 Santa Fe. The transmission stutters a little around 35 - 40 mph. I had it checked out yesterday & was told it was the clutch slipping in the torque converter. My question: Since the stuttering is still mild, would this cause any damage to the transmission itself? I don't want to be pressured into fixing something that isn't actually broken...

Replying to: somedai1 (Feb 19, 2008 8:57 am) I'm getting the torque converter replaced now. I'm concerned that they will try to say the transmission is damaged as well. Would the slipping clutch in the torque converter likely cause damage to the rest of the transmission?
