Sluggish Shift on a Sonata - 11/4/2007 1:08:13 PM    itskeiser   Posts: 9 Joined: 10/1/2007 Status: offline Hey guys, any help on this is appreciated: I revently got an 01 Sonata automatic, and about two months in Ive noticed its shifting bad- it locks up at 5x rpms until I take my foot off the pedal, than it switches to the next gear. Also, on the third gear it jumps awkwardly to 4-5x rpms the moment it switches, almost like its slipping and going right back to second. I had a similar problem on my focus and all that needed was an oil change, but this seems worse. Any ideas? Thanks Again Post #: 1

Contaminated fluid can cause the symptons you are describing. _____________________________ 2003 Tiburon GT V6 (in reply to itskeiser) Post #: 2

What you DON'T want to see is DTC P0734...........that's badness. (in reply to itskeiser) Post #: 5

So it seems the trans fluid is the culprit.right? (in reply to HYUNDAI35) Post #: 6
