I’m looking for a 2016 Hyundai Elantra 1.8L automatic transmission but their expensive and I was wondering if a 2015 Hyundai Elantra trans would work or maybe a 2016 kia trans or any transmission that would work over paying $1800 for one.

 

You could do these things years back when all transmissions were pretty much mechanically controlled, but with electronics involved with controlling today's vehicles it can bring problems.

What is the trans code on the inside driver's door label of your vehicle?
Did the other trans come from a similar year, model vehicle ? If not, we need to determine what the differences are between the 2 transmissions.

A trans shop that does this kind of thing every day might be better able to provide a better answer.

 

Not sure of a trans code but I have the vin number if that’s any help. It’s 5NPDH4AE4GH792713

 

A dealership might be able to tell you which trans is in your vehicle from the VIN. With out the trans code I can't.
