No, I haven't tried that. It's not like I can go run out to a dealer (an impossibility on a Sunday, where I live anyway) and demand to drive a 2008 Sonata I4 automatic--and one with a 5-speed of course. But I do know I've wasted far too much time on this, and you. One thing I will do, though, since I am taking my Hyundai in for an oil change tomorrow, is ask the service manager whether there is such a thing as a 2006-2008 Sonata I4 with a 5-speed automatic. I am hoping he won't laugh his head off.
Good luck with your one-of-a-kind 2008 Sonata I4 with the 5-speed automatic. Maybe you should try selling it on eBay--there might be a demand for a rare car like that. Some people will collect just about anything.

Please get a clue. Everyone except you knows that there's only 4 speed I4's in the 2008 Sonata. And I certainly don't speak as any type of Hyundai rep. It's insulting that you question people who are far more knowledge than you'll ever be.

Update: I asked the service manager at my local Hyundai dealer today whether he had heard of a 2008 Sonata I4 with a 5-speed automatic. He said he'd never heard of that, before the 2009 MY.

transmission jerks while shifting

i have a 2009 hyundai sonata and 900 miles on it. the car jerks into gear. very unpleasant. the tech says it needs to get used to my driving and should straighten out. has anyone else had this problem? this doesnt seem right to me that a vehicle needs to "learn" your driving habits before it shifts correctly

That is exactly how modern automatics work--they "learn" the driver's habits over a period of time. Isn't technology wonderful?
But it should start smoothing out pretty soon.

I do not buy it. There maybe some learning from the engine/transmission combination but it should not cause drivability issues. Let say you only drive in the city for 10,000 miles the car learns you driving style. Now you head-out to the open road would you then expect the car to not know how to go 60 miles per hour and run poorly?. I think not. My Sonata with 1000 miles has always shifted fine so it must be a quick study I guess.

I get very little jerking at all now and it's only been about 3000 miles for me. I'd just drive it for another few tanks and see if it gets better.
