Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Hyundai?

Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.

What can I tow in a Hyundai?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Excel’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

When should I have my Excel's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1989 Excel’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Hyundai, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.

Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Hyundai Excel?

Yes. Hyundai Excel transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Hyundai Excel transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.
