It all started last Sunday I was driving and I felt a thud..but my car continued to drive like usual.
I pulled into a store and parked, went in and came out....Reverse no longer worked when I went to pull out of the parking lot! I was able to get it pushed out of the parking spot so I drove around the lot to sort of see what else might happen.
Everything was okay. For a moment. Then I stopped and went through the gears to see what would happen.....a few clunking noises (scary) and I was on my way.
I was able to drive home safely.....going about 20mph, running about 4000 rpm.
Following are a few theories I have established:
-need new tranny (worst case scenario)
-possible cylinoid issue
-speed sensor maybe?
-transmission flush needed
What do you think????

automatic transmission? If so, could be a speed sensor.... were you in "limp home" mode (stuck in 3rd gear)? If not, maybe a solenoid or worse...

I do not know much about Hyundai transmissions but normally when you cannot get into the gears, they are gone. You could start with a flush (cheapest as far as I know), but that might lead to having your car stuck at the shop if the problem is bigger.
Good Luck
