What Does Your Hyundai Elantra GT Transmission Do?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Hyundai Elantra GT transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Hyundai Elantra GT transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Elantra GT at all.

2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Hyundai's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Hyundai? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Elantra GT’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Elantra GT's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2018 Elantra GT’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Hyundai. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Hyundai Elantra GT? Yes, your Hyundai Elantra GT can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Elantra GT ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  Hyundai Elantra GT transmission fixed? When your Elantra GT transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Is it okay to drive a Elantra GT with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Elantra GT if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
