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?

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: targettuning (Nov 02, 2007 6:53 am) Life ATF which is supposed to be consistent with SP-III. I have a signed letter from Valvoline which states that use of the fluid WILL NOT INVALIDATE the Warranty and it also lists all the vehicles that it is recommended for - which includes KIA SP-II and SP-III and Hyundai. Although I voiced some concern about this - I was assured by a reputable AAA repair shop (SAMCO in San Diego) that I was OK to use the Valvoline transmission fluid.

I just bought an '08 Sonata in November, 2007. Right away I noticed a definate shutter when driving around 40mph, just prior to shifting to 4th. It will remain as long as I stay at that speed. I took it in to be checked twice. 1st time tech didn't find it, 2nd time there was a TSB, and the transmission was reprogrammed. THAT was yesterday. On the way home, sure enough, it did it again, and again. Any suggestions? Thanks!
