#6 of 155 Hyundai Sonata transmission shifting by douglasc Jul 27, 2007 (11:55 am)
Is it normal for a 2006 Sonata V6 transmission to delay slightly on the first to second shift (when compared to the other shifts)? Is it normal to have it hunt looking for the proper gear when traveling easily at 40 mph? Replies to this message: jlindh (Jul 27, 2007 12:51 pm) craigbrooks (Jul 30, 2007 6:04 pm)

Replying to: douglasc (Jul 27, 2007 11:55 am) the 1st to 2nd gear lag is common. I used to notice it everytime when I first purchased mine but don't notice it all now. It's a "new" car thing. Different from what you were used to driving. Happens to us all.
#9 of 155 High rpm concern with 4 cylinder by geofw Oct 06, 2007 (6:57 am)
I'm thinking of buying a 4 cylinder standard transmisson Sonata.   I have a 2005 Tucson. It has an rpm of 3,000 at around 60 mph. Needless to say, it gets noisy at higher speeds. At the same speed, my 1995 Camry is about 500 rpm lower. I can go around corners in 3rd gear without any problem.   Anyone notice the same problem with say, 2007 or 2008 Sonatas?

Replying to: mepjap65 (Jul 24, 2007 3:38 pm) Yes, my 2007 does it too. My mother-in-law also bought a 2007 Sonata about a month before I did; I'll take hers for "a spin" and see it it does it too.
#13 of 155 2003 Hyundai Sonata Transmission Whine by superjesr Oct 31, 2007 (7:56 am)
I just moved to Denver - after about a month (one week after a cold freeze) I noticed a slight whine when the transmission is in third (approx 2300 rpm) between 38 and 42 mph. It seems to disappear immediately on shifting to 4th. I do not hear it when the transmission downshifts. I might also mention that I lived in San Diego, and, at 30000 miles had the transmission fluid changed as part of the 30000 mile checkup. I do not believe they used Hyundai fluid. This was a AAA aproved repair shop and they provided documentation that said that the transmission fluid they used was OK for the vehicle.

Replying to: superjesr (Oct 31, 2007 7:56 am) For whatever the reason Hyundai automatics require specific Hyundai branded transmission fluid. I do not believe any other generic type is recommended. As far as I know there is no other type or brand that should be used. Also,I seem to recall this wasn't a Hyundai ruse in order to force owners to buy their transmission fluid only but this requirement had roots in actual performance problems if it wasn't used.
