What’s the Importance of Your 1998 Elantra’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Elantra’s performance. They're often easy to notice. 1998 Hyundai Elantra transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Hyundai Elantra transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Elantra isn’t working at all.

1998 Hyundai Elantra Questions & Answers

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Hyundai Elantra? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Elantra’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my Elantra's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Hyundai Elantra transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Hyundai Elantra? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Hyundai Elantra, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Can I drive my Hyundai Elantra with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.
