Thanks for putting this video out! My son in law has a 2016 Hyundai ELANTRA, which we believe is in need of a new transmission and we plan on replacing it ourselves to avoid getting bent over at the transmission shop. Your video is very insightful. Thanks again!
My wife Elantra just started with the same problem and same noise, I consider myself a skill mechanic person but now with your video definitely I will do this job, now hopefully I find a good deal, thank you brother good video 👌👍
That sucks about the transmission however it’s not to bad changing it out. Good luck with the swap and finding a good deal on a transmission. Thanks for watching the video and the feedback.
I watched this video cause I'm having to rebuild my engine in 2016 Elantra GT I had forgotten which way the flex plate went on, anyway I seen in one frame of your video which way. I watched the whole thing very good insightful video buddy thank you very much for putting such helpful info out for us to use.
Same here, you can never tell the kind of mechanics we have these days. I'm still looking for a transmission for my 2015 accent. Kindly let me know if you find a good deal. Many thank
I am so impressed that you changed the transmission. Like this motives me to always think outside the box and rely yourself to work and save money. Like seriously you deserve a pad in a the back.
Young man, you are awesome, very good job. I’ve seen other “ mechanics “ perform the same job at a shop with all the tools and sophisticated equipment and have 1-3 guys helping. It’s only you NICE 👍🏽… Thank you for the feedback..
Thanks appreciate it. I do have help from the fam but tool wise I have bare minimum as most of us do. So I try to prove a point to others you can do big jobs just have to improvise on things.
So much easier to remove your cv axles by taking the two lower bolts out of the strut and then folding the knuckle out. No need to mess around with ball joints! I just did a Hyundai Kona tranny swap this week that way.
Unfortunately transmission are on back order for my girlfriends 2016 Elantra, but as soon as it gets here I’ll be tackling this myself. Thank you for the details video, it will be an IMMENSE help for me and I’m sure plenty of others. Apparently these transmissions don’t last too long.
Great vid.! Just had to do the same thing on MY daughter's car. Not the same symptoms, though. She ended up plowing the inside, vertical curb face of a round-a-bout. When picking the car up from the scene of the umfortimate event, I noticed the fluid on the ground & thought it was maybe a busted fitting or a line that was frayed. Got it home & started to assess, & noticed a busted pan. No big deal, right? Wrong! Pulled the pan & a small section of the case came with it. So a tranny R & R was clearly in my future. Your coverage of the job was excellent! No essential items were missed & no redundancies. U seem like a super cool fella.🤘
i just completely broke my tansmission you know something broke when you hear a snapping sound so once i get the tranny going to use your very helpful guide to replace it thank you for this
Thanks for showing how to do this and thanks for Your hard work on this Transmission Job.👍✌.I'm sure Your Daughter was very greatful for doing this for Her.Thanks.
Overall, again thank you, this is the exact same transmission, and engine bay, in my girl’s 2014-2017 Hyundai Accent, everything was so identical and this video helped out a lot. Thank you again (would you mind putting 2014-2017 Hyundai Accent on the title or description) thank you
Are you saying that 13 to 17 has the same automatic trans because I have a new trans that's on a 2016? I wanna put it on my 2013. But ebay listing shows 15 to 17 on transmission but 12 to 17 on motor. Can someone confirm these 6 speed auto trans are the same, just like the motor. It should be m6cf1 auto trans. Just wanna confirm I can relearn if need be because I'm a locksmith with lots of experience. If someone can confirm, I'll buy lunch.
@@segounlocks5029 from 2015 to 2017 it use a 6 speed transmission like elantra from the same years. but hyundai accent from 2011 till 2014 use a different one.
My trans just went bad on my Hyundai Accent this is giving me hope I can possibly do it myself. My dad was a mechanic for many years now retired so he’s got the tools necessary. I’d hate to junk my car to many memories made with it
Good video, man. It's really helpful. I'm doing mine in the shop, and I think I will hold the engine from the top instead of supporting it from the bottom
Very good job, it was not seen that you bled the transmission oil lines to the radiator and you did not change the turbine oil, which is about a quarter and where did you buy the transmission?
Great job. This is amazing. My 2015 Elantra went in for an oil leak and they said they had to pull the tranny to actually finish the job. Transmission went out 2 weeks later. Coincidence or not, it’s really weird. It didn’t whine like your car did. It just stopped going into great. I could still reverse though.
I am just curious there is no check engine light on before replacing the Transmission. The sound that comes when you pedal on the gas is a sign though!
with a due respect u get an A+ for teaching but an F for safety 🤣 jk man i see u never got your jack stands unless u meant two more bricks and tires .. thanks for taking time to do this video man .. im a good technician but with your help now i feel confident going into this project.. .. now im just left wondering ( why didnt u change your daughter engine ? 🤔.. )u got all that it takes ! but i know we are all busy so i know how it goes man!! again great job 👍 thanks for teaching some of the stuff i had forgotten about
thanks man I appreciate it and for the safety part your right 😂. I just had to get it done and good luck with product I’m sure your more than capable. With the motor I didn’t have time with work being busy. Thanks again for your feedback appreciate it.
str8burbn i was just kiding man .. i would trust those tires and bricks all day better than jack stands as long as u dont go any higher ... it looked pretty solid .. ill suscribe to your channel. ur a good man ! nice 👍 do u mind if i text u if i get stuck somewhere?
Those 2 lights that are on.have to do with the front suspension, the abs, and the tracking control have to do with the electric power steering, it could be the inner& outer tierod since it works in conjunction you can turn them off by restting it or by taking either battery cable off .
Wow! Awesome video. I really need your help though. I took my Hyndai Accent 2015 model to a mechanic for maintenance and my gear box is completely spoiled. Can you please help me get some to buy? And is it possible to import it into my country Ghana for fixing? Counting on your help. Thank you very much
Overall, great video. Very helpful. Nice job showing where bolts are and their sizing. Only a little critique....The mounts were not explained how to remove, neither the flyheel or starter. You showed the install, just not the removal. You got 90% of it covered, just a couple of small things. Where did you find the replacement? Thanks again for posting.
Great video. I would love to find a transmission for $200. Huge price difference for 1.8 liter and 2.0 liter transmission. 2 liter is $300. 1.8 liter is $2000 in a 2016. Why? No idea. I am jealous. Wish I had a 2 liter.
When you put the torque converter bolts into the flex plate did you leave a small gap or did you screw the bolts down all the way into the torque converter? I have a 2005 hyundai elantra and I’m not sure if I need a small gap. There was a small gap when I took the transmission off the old engine.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2013 Elantra, which is part of the 5th generation of these cars. It looks almost exactly like the one in the video. Do you think your demonstration would pertain to my car as well?
Just look on the bottom side of motor and see if you would have to remove the subframe. If you do securely hold the motor with jacks or blocks and remove subframe and than do the transmission removal should be close. And yes it will still help you
Only a handful of people I have known that have taken out engines and transmissions on their driveway. One was my stepfather. He was a mechanic by trade but on the weekends he fixed his own cars.
I have the bare minimum tools and no shop like most of us. I hope this helps others to do their own projects and realize you don’t need a shop to save money
It looks like I have more than tools than u especially on the jack lift aspect and after watching u do this tranny Job I just gained more confidence with your ground level skills and realistic DIY tutorial…I recommend u do a valve adjustment or even change spark plugs cuz the sound of the engine has that tap tap sounds…great job! 👏🏻⚡️👍💎🤜btw…your little one is so cute
Well im getting ready to do this on a friends car so thank you for sharing the video. Looks like a torch converter failure i have s friend that rebuilds transmissions so i just have to r&r it. With this video it should be s piece of cake
hey man were did you end up getting the transmission. i have looked everywhere i have a 2016 hyundai elantra SE and im needing a new transmission. im having such a hard time any help or just a point into the right direction would be fantastic. thanks in advance.
Was going to ask if the transmissions from 2014 thru 2017 are interchangeable on the 1 8 liter? Lots of scrap yards say no but as long as the harness works it should interchange.
Our 2013 Elantra makes a similar sound and only when accelerating. My husband is a well skilled mechanic and after seeing your videos and detailed information he is going to install a new transmission. But we would like to know when you replaced your daughter’s transmission did you take the car to the dealer to program the transmission after the replacement reinstall? Please let us know. Side note: I love that your son was out there helping you!
After the install their was no need for programming. As long as you put the same transmission in it than your ecu will run it the same no problem. My kids are always willing to help and love doing stuff with me it’s been so much fun getting my kids involved. Thanks for watching the video and good luck with your transmission swap you guys got this.
U replace the motor on that car u have video I have the same car my is a 16 Hyundai elantra 2.0 GDI I going to get a new motor good job 👏 on the transmission video
It should be if not close you might have to drop sub frame but not to difficult just support the motor really good 👍🏻. I found mine off KSL classifieds and got lucky
I'll be doing this on a '17 Sportage in the next day or 3. Looks to be a very similar process. On the Kia techinfo site, they mention reprogramming the TCM with the new transaxle's oil pressure values. Did you have to do anything like that with yours? Also, it's been suggested I flush the trans coolant lines. Did you do this? Do you know of any other resources or videos I might check out? You skip over a couple spots and I know you say "you can't mess it up" but you're wrong about that, bud. Ha. Thanks again for the video. We're going to try to make something similar for the sporty.
This just had a motor put in so new coolant and no I didn’t have to relearn the eco. However with the battery being disconnected during the whole job will usually reset everything.
Man, I got exhausted by just watching this. God bless you guys for the hard working. By the way, I just wondering if it is worth it to change the transmission. I check the price and it shows around 3500.
Good job! Very nice video. Btw, what is the part number/model numbber of the transmission? Was it T-U_2997? And where did you get the trans from? Thanks
Similar situation here: giving it gas and I can hear a whine. Mine is a 2003. It sometimes jolts and now I can feel a grind. Only in 3rd gear does it mess up but now 2nd gear and messing up. I would love to put a new tranny in, but I literally just got a $600 job done on the car. I’m in a confused spot
@@str8burbn I want to say it’s the torque converter and/or flywheel as I just got it repaired for hard start and stalling at cold start. Mechanic replace the fuel pump and it’s still not doing its job. Keep in mind, I just put a new starter in myself. I have a feeling the transmission is somehow causing a hard start
I am about to replace the transmission In my 2017 Elantra so this is very helpful thanks... 1 question though. EVERYWHERE I read says I have to reset my TCM after I put in the other transmission. Did you have to do that? If so, is there a way to do it without a scan tool?
@@Tradrnqi put a used transmission in mine but no i did not reset mine either... however it ran a little strange shifting rough and at crazy high and low RPMs for the first 10 or 20ish miles.. i am assuming it was my TCM doing a little adpative learning on its own.
Curious, how did you handle lifting that transmission? Did you lift it by yourself or a must 2 person? Didn't show in the video you unloading the new one or when you put it on top of the jack. I plan on making an attempt on changing my transmission (I got a Sentra like yours), looking to see how hard it will be lugging it around and throwing it on top of a jack.
Thanks for the video,Sir!! Really, really helpful and comprehensive. One questions though. How well you need to hold the motor before removing the transmission mounts? Does the engine hang by itself without transmission?
I’m having transmission problems as well with my Elantra. The sound isn’t like this but it’s more a whining sound in park and drive. Took it to 3 different mechanic and 3!” Different answer. It’s stressing. I really don’t wanna purchase a new transmission. 1 saying could be a failing pump other saying water got in and other says it’s a bearing issue.
I currently have a 2016 Hyundai Elantra and my car is having transmission issues. I want to replace it, but idk because now they are breaking into the cars. They’ve already stolen my car once on Christmas Eve and then attempted again on New Year eve. So idek if I should also where did you get the new transmission? And was it a rebuilt one?
I have a 2017 Elantra, model after this one, 120k miles and need a trans thanks to the oil change shop emptying my trans instead of my oil, but I just picked up a trans from a 2019 with 18k miles on it for $300. I am wondering if I have to take it to Hyundai to reset the trans with their GDS scan. I'm trying to avoid that since it's $250, and I also have to buy new fluid for the new trans which is $25 a quart. Lol. Trying to do this as cheap as possible.
Ver informative, is the right way to check the transmission fluid level the engine on or off? and if you remember how many quarts you put in the torque before installation? Thanks
You check the fluid level with the car running and I had it in neutral. I put around a quart in the torque converter than filled the transmission till it came out of the plug on the front of the transmission before starting it. I than started the car and topped it off again than drove it just down the street and back and topped it off again. After that I went for a 10 min drive and checked again and it was good.
Man hugely appreciate this video - so far i have the air box / battery cover / ball joints out - but you mentioned something at the beginning of the video about bolts into the flywheel that need "turning over" to get to - I have not done a transmission before - curious how you access these bolts that you could not reach when you were showing the video. thanks and appreciate you!
Third a cover on the bottom where the trans mounts to the engine. You take the cover off and you’ll have access to the flywheel bolts. You’ll just need to put a socket on the crank and rotate it around to get to all the flywheel bolts. Hope this is helpful and good luck you got this.
Do u mean that if i had loke that noise mean i had to change my transmittion ..because i had elantra 2012 like u ,and it have the same noise but only when it cold ,but once the car worm up the soind fade out ...when i checked the oil it was darty ...the mechanics advice me to change the oil and filter ...
Hello there str8burbn, great video and you have an amazing talent, keep up the great work. My 2013 Hyundai Elantra has 188K miles and I have never serviced the transmission; it is running smooth as ever and Hyundai advertised it as a "maintenance free" transmission guaranteed for life. I worked in maintenance for 29 years in the Air Force, avionics though, and I know there is no such thing as something that is maintenance free. I want to do some preventive maintenance on it, at least change the fluid, is there anything else I should do? I have a Tundra with 212K miles on it and just replaced the fluid for the first time and the filter. Does the Elantra have a transmission fluid filter? Any advice would be great.
Thanks I appreciate it and as for the filter their is one but I would personally just drain and top off with new fluid. As for your Toyota truck it’s bulletproof so no worries with that one.
I would NOT replace the fluid on such high mileage vehicles. EVERY single time I did this (to two Volkswagens, and a 2009 sonata), the torque converter and/or clutches in the tranny SLIP. Why? ....because all the clutch material in the tranny fluid was making it a very "catchy" fluid that didn't slip easily, and by removing that non-slip fluid, the new fluid allows the heavily worn clutches to slip. I would never again, now knowing what I do, replace tranny fluid. I WOULD however consider draining the fluid and KEEPING it, and replace the filter as the filter may catch the larger debris, and the re-install the old tranny fluid.
I have a question so I have a 2016 Hyundai Elantra 1.8. Can the 2013 Hyundai Elantra transmission fit ? My car goes in drive it’s just only does it one 2nd gear. I’m sure it’s the transmission looking for a good price . Let me know thanks !
Thanks appreciate it. And as for the trans I found on KSL and luckily their was a listing. If I would’ve not found this one I was going to go to the pick n pull and find a totaled car to pull one from.
@@str8burbn OH ok. Thanks once again.. I think I'll check around and see if I can get one with low km. My tranny went and the mechanic who replaced it did such a shoddy job, and doesn't want to own up to it . . Thanks again.
Hey boss was this an automatic or manual transmission? Second question: Do you think it would be incredibly difficult to swap out the automatic for a manual on this vehicle? Just a curious question you obviously know your stuff and it's something I want to do as a project car deal. The elantra isn't a popular project car or hot rod car but I would like to do it to mine. Just give it to me straight doc.
This was an auto and as for doing a manual you’ll need the manual ecu and some fab work to install the clutch and brake pedal and some fab work to the tunnel for the shift. You should be able to hit up a junkyard and get most the parts from a doner car. It would be cool to see something different built up and would be a cool sleeper.
Thanks for the reply! That's the plan. It's the memories in the car that make it special for me and my wife and I basically grew together in that car we built our life on that car and I dont want to get rid of it. Once we pay it off and were living in a house with a garage I want to go full send on it. I'm a welder and a tinkerer at heart. My father and I built a 1996 Impala SS from bone stock to bagged and beasted. Won lots of best in shows and first place trophies and now I want to carry on my own little legacy. Thanks for the tip bro! Good luck and stay safe out there!
Most won’t understand but who cares you build what you want and enjoy it with the family. That’s why I built a jacked up suburban to haul my family around with me.
Thanks for the vid. Curious is how heavy is the transmission? I have 2013 Hyundai Veloster and the procedure is almost identical to Elantra and was just curious since one day I have to change the clutch on my transmission (Its a Dual Clutch Transmission and like Manual its great until the clutch wear out and need replacing).
Thanks for putting this video out! My son in law has a 2016 Hyundai ELANTRA, which we believe is in need of a new transmission and we plan on replacing it ourselves to avoid getting bent over at the transmission shop. Your video is very insightful. Thanks again!
Glad I could help!
what did your son ever do about his car? i am having transmission issues as well
My wife Elantra just started with the same problem and same noise, I consider myself a skill mechanic person but now with your video definitely I will do this job, now hopefully I find a good deal, thank you brother good video 👌👍
That sucks about the transmission however it’s not to bad changing it out. Good luck with the swap and finding a good deal on a transmission. Thanks for watching the video and the feedback.
Might as well do an engine swap
Excellent video - straight to the point and not a lot of useless chatter. Good camera shots. Much appreciated!

First and last Hyundai for me. Thanks for making this video. My transmission is fine but I will have to change my clutch soon.

Where did you get it from?
Cheers to you for making this video. Easily saved me 3 grand. Thank you!
That’s awesome
How did you save 3k? That remanufactured transmission is $2k.
Stellar job. I'm not sure I would have tackled that repair but after looking at how you accomplished it you make it look easy.......👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks
You still do these where are you located? Impressive Sir
@str8 how did the transmission run afterwards and where did you purchase the transmission for $300?
Great vid.! Just had to do the same thing on MY daughter's car. Not the same symptoms, though. She ended up plowing the inside, vertical curb face of a round-a-bout.

You bet thanks
Thanks brother! Love having people willing to help the rest of us DIY this stuff!
We all got to save money one way or another
Love this. straight to the point. thank you so much. i needed this to take down my transmission to change the clutches ect...
Very informative vlog here . I have a 2011. Your a good dad n happy new year 2021
Thanks appreciate it happy new year as well.
You just got yourself another big thumbs up for sharing this video. Thank you and well done from Niagara Falls Canada.!
Thanks I appreciate a lot for your support.
Very good job, it was not seen that you bled the transmission oil lines to the radiator and you did not change the turbine oil, which is about a quarter and where did you buy the transmission?
Great job. This is amazing. My 2015 Elantra went in for an oil leak and they said they had to pull the tranny to actually finish the job. Transmission went out 2 weeks later. Coincidence or not, it’s really weird. It didn’t whine like your car did. It just stopped going into great. I could still reverse though.

Hi 👋🏻, is the 2012 Elantra’s transmission same of 2015?
Traction and ABS lights can also be an emission issue (yes emission) and since the engine was just installed I’d take it back and have them rescan.
Well im getting ready to do this on a friends car so thank you for sharing the video. Looks like a torch converter failure i have s friend that rebuilds transmissions so i just have to r&r it. With this video it should be s piece of cake
Oh yeah you got this no problem
Great simple video. I hope this actually fixes my problem but well done video.
Thanks hopefully it does fix it
Great job 👏, but I wonder if the Korean build transmission gonna fit with the us build elantra ?
Thanks for the video. HOW DID YOU FIND A TRANS FOR $200 ???????
Appreciate it and I found it on KSL classifieds
hey man were did you end up getting the transmission. i have looked everywhere i have a 2016 hyundai elantra SE and im needing a new transmission. im having such a hard time any help or just a point into the right direction would be fantastic. thanks in advance.
Helpful love it…thank you brooo
Was going to ask if the transmissions from 2014 thru 2017 are interchangeable on the 1 8 liter? Lots of scrap yards say no but as long as the harness works it should interchange.
Our 2013 Elantra makes a similar sound and only when accelerating. My husband is a well skilled mechanic and after seeing your videos and detailed information he is going to install a new transmission.
But we would like to know when you replaced your daughter’s transmission did you take the car to the dealer to program the transmission after the replacement reinstall? Please let us know.
Side note: I love that your son was out there helping you!
After the install their was no need for programming. As long as you put the same transmission in it than your ecu will run it the same no problem. My kids are always willing to help and love doing stuff with me it’s been so much fun getting my kids involved. Thanks for watching the video and good luck with your transmission swap you guys got this.
U replace the motor on that car u have video I have the same car my is a 16 Hyundai elantra 2.0 GDI I going to get a new motor good job 👏 on the transmission video
I didn’t do the motor but you can do the motor swap. Just label everything and take your time you got it.
Thanks for the video. One question, is the 2013 Hyundai Elantra the same? And where did you find a transmission for $200.00?
It should be if not close you might have to drop sub frame but not to difficult just support the motor really good 👍🏻. I found mine off KSL classifieds and got lucky
I'll be doing this on a '17 Sportage in the next day or 3. Looks to be a very similar process. On the Kia techinfo site, they mention reprogramming the TCM with the new transaxle's oil pressure values. Did you have to do anything like that with yours? Also, it's been suggested I flush the trans coolant lines. Did you do this? Do you know of any other resources or videos I might check out? You skip over a couple spots and I know you say "you can't mess it up" but you're wrong about that, bud. Ha. Thanks again for the video. We're going to try to make something similar for the sporty.
This just had a motor put in so new coolant and no I didn’t have to relearn the eco. However with the battery being disconnected during the whole job will usually reset everything.
Man, I got exhausted by just watching this. God bless you guys for the hard working. By the way, I just wondering if it is worth it to change the transmission. I check the price and it shows around 3500.
You the man Brother, Good Job!!!
Thanks bro
Good job! Very nice video. Btw, what is the part number/model numbber of the transmission? Was it T-U_2997? And where did you get the trans from? Thanks
Similar situation here: giving it gas and I can hear a whine. Mine is a 2003. It sometimes jolts and now I can feel a grind. Only in 3rd gear does it mess up but now 2nd gear and messing up. I would love to put a new tranny in, but I literally just got a $600 job done on the car. I’m in a confused spot
That’s shity for sure
@@str8burbn I want to say it’s the torque converter and/or flywheel as I just got it repaired for hard start and stalling at cold start. Mechanic replace the fuel pump and it’s still not doing its job. Keep in mind, I just put a new starter in myself. I have a feeling the transmission is somehow causing a hard start
I am about to replace the transmission In my 2017 Elantra so this is very helpful thanks... 1 question though. EVERYWHERE I read says I have to reset my TCM after I put in the other transmission. Did you have to do that? If so, is there a way to do it without a scan tool?
I never reset my TCM and had no problems
@@str8burbn thanks bro there are ALOTTT more miles on mine I hope I don't have to either.
Good luck hopefully everything goes smooth like mine did
@@josephfordham3348 did you have to reset yours?
@@Tradrnqi put a used transmission in mine but no i did not reset mine either... however it ran a little strange shifting rough and at crazy high and low RPMs for the first 10 or 20ish miles.. i am assuming it was my TCM doing a little adpative learning on its own.
Thanks man you’re awesome 👏
You bet
Could it have just been the motor mounts?
No the transmission fluid was fried 🥵 burnt.
Do you know how different this is to the manual transmission replacement process?
I’d imagine it’s way close and it will help you
Where did you pick that transmission up with 3,000 Mi on it for $200 or did I misunderstand that
Curious, how did you handle lifting that transmission? Did you lift it by yourself or a must 2 person? Didn't show in the video you unloading the new one or when you put it on top of the jack. I plan on making an attempt on changing my transmission (I got a Sentra like yours), looking to see how hard it will be lugging it around and throwing it on top of a jack.
I had my boy help me out most definitely have 2 people to help. I also had my wife working the jack as the trans was pretty heavy and awkward.
You're a great father . Good job 👏
Thanks for the video,Sir!! Really, really helpful and comprehensive. One questions though. How well you need to hold the motor before removing the transmission mounts? Does the engine hang by itself without transmission?
Make sure you have it secure pretty good as the motor will be held by one mount on the top passenger side only
@@str8burbn Thanks God I asked before removing the tranny mounts!!! I'm in your shoes right now... )))))
Oh damn lol good luck and it’s not that bad
Thanks for the video, nice tutorial 👍
Thanks
I’m having transmission problems as well with my Elantra. The sound isn’t like this but it’s more a whining sound in park and drive. Took it to 3 different mechanic and 3!” Different answer. It’s stressing. I really don’t wanna purchase a new transmission. 1 saying could be a failing pump other saying water got in and other says it’s a bearing issue.
Damn that’s shity. I’d try just changing the fluid as it’s the cheapest starting point
I currently have a 2016 Hyundai Elantra and my car is having transmission issues. I want to replace it, but idk because now they are breaking into the cars. They’ve already stolen my car once on Christmas Eve and then attempted again on New Year eve. So idek if I should also where did you get the new transmission? And was it a rebuilt one?
Where did you get the transmission from
Awesome information & tutorial 👏 👌🏼 👍🏿 😀
Did you have to reset transmission adapts for the new install?
I have a 2017 Elantra, model after this one, 120k miles and need a trans thanks to the oil change shop emptying my trans instead of my oil, but I just picked up a trans from a 2019 with 18k miles on it for $300. I am wondering if I have to take it to Hyundai to reset the trans with their GDS scan. I'm trying to avoid that since it's $250, and I also have to buy new fluid for the new trans which is $25 a quart. Lol. Trying to do this as cheap as possible.
Ver informative, is the right way to check the transmission fluid level the engine on or off? and if you remember how many quarts you put in the torque before installation? Thanks
You check the fluid level with the car running and I had it in neutral. I put around a quart in the torque converter than filled the transmission till it came out of the plug on the front of the transmission before starting it. I than started the car and topped it off again than drove it just down the street and back and topped it off again. After that I went for a 10 min drive and checked again and it was good.
Which shop did you get the transmission from? I live in Salt lake...
hello how many miles did i have? you didn't reset the module? it is only to remove and to put !! true
I forgot the miles but I didnt have to reset anything on mine
But please any time I accelerate my elantra 2015 model and it reaches RPM of 2000 the vehicle always jerks what might be the cause of it
Thanks very much
You bet
Nice Job Man.
Thanks
Man hugely appreciate this video - so far i have the air box / battery cover / ball joints out - but you mentioned something at the beginning of the video about bolts into the flywheel that need "turning over" to get to - I have not done a transmission before - curious how you access these bolts that you could not reach when you were showing the video. thanks and appreciate you!
Third a cover on the bottom where the trans mounts to the engine. You take the cover off and you’ll have access to the flywheel bolts. You’ll just need to put a socket on the crank and rotate it around to get to all the flywheel bolts. Hope this is helpful and good luck you got this.
Mis respetos, lo hiciste solo y es mucho trabajo!
Gracias, te lo agradezco
Can I replace my Hyundai Elantra 2015 transmission gear box with Hyundai Elantra 2013 model transmission gear box and use?
I’d call Hyundai and ask them before I’d buy
@@str8burbn okay thank you will be waiting on your reply thank you
Do u mean that if i had loke that noise mean i had to change my transmittion ..because i had elantra 2012 like u ,and it have the same noise but only when it cold ,but once the car worm up the soind fade out ...when i checked the oil it was darty ...the mechanics advice me to change the oil and filter ...
Hello there str8burbn, great video and you have an amazing talent, keep up the great work. My 2013 Hyundai Elantra has 188K miles and I have never serviced the transmission; it is running smooth as ever and Hyundai advertised it as a "maintenance free" transmission guaranteed for life. I worked in maintenance for 29 years in the Air Force, avionics though, and I know there is no such thing as something that is maintenance free. I want to do some preventive maintenance on it, at least change the fluid, is there anything else I should do? I have a Tundra with 212K miles on it and just replaced the fluid for the first time and the filter. Does the Elantra have a transmission fluid filter? Any advice would be great.
Thanks I appreciate it and as for the filter their is one but I would personally just drain and top off with new fluid. As for your Toyota truck it’s bulletproof so no worries with that one.
@@str8burbn Nice thanks for the info! take care
I would NOT replace the fluid on such high mileage vehicles. EVERY single time I did this (to two Volkswagens, and a 2009 sonata), the torque converter and/or clutches in the tranny SLIP. Why? ....because all the clutch material in the tranny fluid was making it a very "catchy" fluid that didn't slip easily, and by removing that non-slip fluid, the new fluid allows the heavily worn clutches to slip. I would never again, now knowing what I do, replace tranny fluid. I WOULD however consider draining the fluid and KEEPING it, and replace the filter as the filter may catch the larger debris, and the re-install the old tranny fluid.
Do you still have the old transmission?
It’s long gone
I have a question so I have a 2016 Hyundai Elantra 1.8. Can the 2013 Hyundai Elantra transmission fit ?
My car goes in drive it’s just only does it one 2nd gear. I’m sure it’s the transmission looking for a good price .
Let me know thanks !
Or should I get the 2014 ? Year . Just want to make sure I don’t buy it for nothing I appreciate your video 💯
I must be a fool but you recommend the Elantra ? Great video !
It’s all your preference but as long as you have a good warranty. Their not bad vehicles at all.
Where did u get the transmission at 200 with low miles
Awesome vid! Did you go with OEM fluid or aftermarket?? If so which one?
Thanks again and Just go with oem fluid
Gret Gret video thanks
Awesome video!!!
Thanks
Hi, thanks for the video! Where did you buy your transmission for that good price?
Thanks
Thanks appreciate it. And as for the trans I found on KSL and luckily their was a listing. If I would’ve not found this one I was going to go to the pick n pull and find a totaled car to pull one from.
@@str8burbn OH ok. Thanks once again..
I think I'll check around and see if I can get one with low km. My tranny went and the mechanic who replaced it did such a shoddy job, and doesn't want to own up to it . .
Thanks again.
Yeah no problem. Good luck with finding one hopefully you can find a screaming deal.
Hey boss was this an automatic or manual transmission? Second question: Do you think it would be incredibly difficult to swap out the automatic for a manual on this vehicle? Just a curious question you obviously know your stuff and it's something I want to do as a project car deal. The elantra isn't a popular project car or hot rod car but I would like to do it to mine.
Just give it to me straight doc.
This was an auto and as for doing a manual you’ll need the manual ecu and some fab work to install the clutch and brake pedal and some fab work to the tunnel for the shift. You should be able to hit up a junkyard and get most the parts from a doner car. It would be cool to see something different built up and would be a cool sleeper.
Thanks for the reply! That's the plan. It's the memories in the car that make it special for me and my wife and I basically grew together in that car we built our life on that car and I dont want to get rid of it. Once we pay it off and were living in a house with a garage I want to go full send on it. I'm a welder and a tinkerer at heart. My father and I built a 1996 Impala SS from bone stock to bagged and beasted. Won lots of best in shows and first place trophies and now I want to carry on my own little legacy.
Thanks for the tip bro! Good luck and stay safe out there!
Most won’t understand but who cares you build what you want and enjoy it with the family. That’s why I built a jacked up suburban to haul my family around with me.
Thanks for the vid. Curious is how heavy is the transmission? I have 2013 Hyundai Veloster and the procedure is almost identical to Elantra and was just curious since one day I have to change the clutch on my transmission (Its a Dual Clutch Transmission and like Manual its great until the clutch wear out and need replacing).
Not sure on the weight just use a jack
Great video.
Thanks
inspiring.i am impressed
Thanks
