The Transmission System and Transmission Fluid

The transmission in your Hyundai car or SUV is arguably the most complicated automotive system. The intricate operation of the transmission is only matched by the complexities of the engine. Just as the engine requires an internal oil lubricant, so does the transmission, and it is called transmission fluid. Transmission fluid handles significant friction and heat that will expose it to thermal breakdown, contamination, and can leak from worn seals. This demands that transmission fluid is inspected routinely and exchanged when found in a compromised state or at the recommended miles.

Why The Transmission Fluid Requires Exchange Service

The transmission is essential to your vehicle’s performance and is needed to operate effectively every time you drive. The transmission fluid is vital to the transmission’s performance. This means that your vehicle’s overall reliable performance can come down to the transmission fluid’s integrity. The fluid requires an exchange service to keep the transmission lubricated and to support your vehicle’s reliable performance. Defective transmission fluid can cause severe damage and immobilize your vehicle but will usually show signs of faulty performance before damage occurs.

The Dangers of Transmission Fluid Neglect

Without proper lubrication, the transmission’s internal parts will create increased friction and will be exposed to extreme heat. The friction and heat can damage internal parts and gaskets that will then allow the fluid to leak. If the fluid is not exchanged when defective, you can expect these consequences to surface:

Leaking fluid often found puddled under the transmission after sitting overnight

Dashboard warning light

Difficulty shifting gears or refusal to shift

Grinding or other strange noises

Gears slipping out without prompt or sporadically

Vehicle surges
