Replying to: airflyte (Apr 30, 2007 7:06 am) Hi, glad I found this forum. My 2005 Hyundai Tucson is at the dealership for its 30,000 mile service. The maintenance schedule says to check the automatic transmission and change if needed. You say that the red dye will turn brown after a short time and that this is normal. The maintenance schedule only says to change the fluid if driving under severe conditions, that the normal use cars don't need the transmission services until 60,000. If the dealer calls me back and says that the fluid is brown and needs the service, how do I counter that or should I just take it somewhere else? Do I let the dealer know that I know that the red dye turns brown after a short time and that this is normal? Thanks.

Replying to: airflyte (Apr 20, 2007 1:27 pm) Well Don't that Beat All! I was careful not to use anything but Mitsubishi Diamond III trans oil (Hyundai, Kia exact replacement) in my 05'Tucson, a royal pain to go all the way to the Dealer(stealer), and pay top dollar! Plus I wanted to go synthetic, or synthetic blend, for maybe better durability, & gas milage. I didn't like the look or smell of my trans fluid lately, so I had it changed at 35K miles at the dealer recently. I do suggest a change if you're doubtful.

Replying to: mikdee (May 17, 2007 5:09 am) now the cat is out of the bag! if you look at wal mart for the super tech brand, it is made by warren also! the transmission fluid is sold as ATF+4 look at the lable for the other brands this fluid can be used in. warren lubricants can be idententfied by the bottle, look for a circle on the right side of the bottle with the fluid poring from the bottle image. all of their lubricants are premium quality and will save you money. i hope this information will help you with your 05 tucson. i also have an 05 tucson - good luck!   the super tech oil filter ST3593A will fit your Tucson V6. It's made in the USA and sold by Champion
#8 of 15 up date on transmission oil by airflyte Oct 05, 2007 (6:42 am)
I said on my last post on the transmission oil that atf +4 was the same as sp111, I was wrong! I went back to the warren oil site and now thay say the multi-vehicle syntetic blend automatic transmission fluid is diamond sp11 or sp111, is sold by warren lubricants. sorry for the mix up on this mystery oil problem!

Hi! I have some questions as I am a new owner of a Hyundai Tuscon. I just bought my Hyundai last week 2007 GLS new off the lot. There were less than 100 miles on it. I have had it a week and Sunday it seemed as if the transmission went out in it. I was pulling out of my neighborhood when there was a clanking sound and the check engine light came on and there was no acceleration it was almost as if my transmission was rolling or wouldnt catch. Not only was roadside assistance no help bc it was a Sunday and I was out of town when this happened but my dealership couldnt help me either. I drove 200+ miles to the dealership in 3rd gear (shiftronic) on an automatic car bc it wouldnt shift automatically and we could only go 55 m. The shop said it is only a outake sensor that is bad but I am fearing it is much worse than that.. Any help????? Suggestions?? This is my first car that I have purchased and I wanted a reliable car and now I am worried I got a faulty car.Help pleaseeeeee Replies to this message: greatcars (Mar 03, 2008 12:35 pm)
#10 of 15 2006 Hyundai Tucson by sonotuh Mar 03, 2008 (11:00 am)
Hi all   I have 13,000 miles on my Tucson. Today, tried to put it in reverse while it was parked in my driveway, and it wouldn't go. It got towed to my dealsership - waiting to find out more. Has anyone heard any any transmission failures like this? Thanks. Replies to this message: sonotuh (Mar 07, 2008 10:29 pm) atomicchicken (Apr 08, 2009 7:45 am)

Replying to: sonotuh (Mar 03, 2008 11:00 am) In regards to my transmission problem:   I couldn't get it to go into reverse in my driveway. My husband couldn't get it into reverse. It would "go" but nothing would happen. Tow truck came - he couldn't get it in reverse, so it was towed to dealership. Dealership called the next day and said they found nothing wrong and it's worked since it got to them.   Any ideas what happened? I'm SURE it will happen again.

Replying to: sonotuh (Mar 07, 2008 10:29 pm) Hey sonotuh. Don't know if you're still having trouble with your transmission...and I don't have any answers for you as yet...but I've experienced exactly the same problem as you. I wasn't able to put my 2006 tucson into reverse. It was like that position was completely blocked by something... All the other gears were fine though...I pushed my car out of the driveway and drove to the Dealership. Unlike you though..they've found a problem...after weeks in the shop. They've told me it's because of a defective part within the transmission. They've ordered parts that are on backorder...so I'll let you know what happens with my car. Thought I'd let you know what they told me...maybe you can tell your dealership about my experience... I'll keep ya posted.

Hi, I bought a 4 wheel drive 5 gear diesel model and when ever I am driving under 2000revs there is a very bad rattling noise which has been there from the beginning. I took it to the agent in Malta and it seems that I am not the only one with this problem who has this model. They are trying to find the default. Can anybody please help?
