Know This Transmission Before You Buy
The research behind our purchase interview — recalls, bulletins and real install economics for this transmission family:
A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right transmission shows up:
- Confirm vehicle production date is on or before July 3, 2012 via the door jamb label.
- Verify engine size is 1.6L.
- Verify transmission serial number etched on the case begins with 'NA'.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Engine support bar
- Transmission jack
- Subframe support jacks
- Bi-directional scan tool (Hyundai GDS or equivalent)
Budget for these consumables at install:
- Hyundai Genuine ATF SP-IV (or fully certified synthetic SP-IV equivalent)
- Torque Converter Seal (Front Pump Seal)
- Axle Seals
- Solvent-based transmission cooler line flush
- Transmission Filter Kit (includes filter and pan gasket - note: filter is internal and requires splitting case to replace)
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: TCM Adaptive Relearn / Reset
Requires a TCM adaptive reset/relearn procedure (stationary garage shift relearn and driving relearn) using a dealer-level scan tool or high-end bi-directional diagnostic tablet. Driving relearn requires gradual acceleration through all 6 gears at 15-20% throttle repeated 4 times.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Torque Converter Seating: Must click/drop backward three distinct times. If not fully seated, bolting to the engine will crack the front pump gear.
- Steering Clockspring Damage: Lock steering wheel before disconnecting steering shaft to lower subframe to prevent snapping the airbag clockspring.
- No Dipstick Fluid Fill Procedure: Must check level via overflow plug on the side of the plastic front cover with vehicle level, engine idling in Park, and fluid temperature at 50-60°C (122-140°F) monitored via scan tool.
- Alignment Dowel Pins: Ensure metal alignment dowels are present in the engine block to prevent input shaft misalignment and rapid front pump failure.
- Cooler Line Flush: Must perform complete flush to prevent debris from the failed unit from destroying the replacement transmission.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Using the wrong fluid type (using generic multi-vehicle ATF or older SP-III instead of SP-IV).
- Underfilling the unit by checking the overflow plug with the engine turned off.
- Skipping the TCM adaptive relearn, leading to immediate harsh shifting and physical damage.
- Forcing the bellhousing bolts when the torque converter is not fully seated.
- Skipping the transmission cooler line flush.

Shipping & Handling
- Ships by LTL freight on a pallet — a real freight truck, not a parcel van
- Your checkout freight quote covers delivery to your door (liftgate service included for residential addresses)
- The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery window — someone must be present to receive it
- Typically palletized and picked up within 2–3 business days; transit time depends on distance
120-Day Warranty
This part includes a 120-day warranty.
- If the part fails within the warranty window, we'll replace it or refund per the coverage terms
- Coverage is parts-only — installation labor is not included
- Warranty covers defects — not installation errors, misuse, or damage after installation
Your pre-purchase interview reviews these exact terms with you before anything is charged.
Returns (30 Days)
We accept returns of uninstalled parts within 30 days of delivery for this part.
- Defective parts: We will replace the part or issue a refund at our discretion
- Programming: "Needs to be programmed to my vehicle" is not a valid return reason. Many modules require dealer programming — we're happy to help connect you with resources if your dealer says it's not programmable
- Return shipping: This part ships by freight (LTL) — the part price is refundable per the terms above, but shipping costs are non-refundable and return freight follows the seller's return terms. Your pre-purchase interview walks through the exact numbers before you buy
- Parts must be returned in original packaging and unmodified condition
- Poorly packaged returns that arrive damaged will not be credited
Damaged in Shipping?
Freight damage is rare — and you're fully protected when you do two things at delivery:
- Inspect before you sign — you're allowed time to look the pallet over while the driver waits
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing — that one line is what makes a freight claim succeed
- Severe damage? Refuse the delivery — it goes back at no cost to you and we make it right
- Photograph the pallet before unwrapping; report concealed damage within 24 hours of delivery
We handle the carrier claim — you just help document it. Your pre-purchase interview walks through this checklist too.
Order Cancellation
Cancel before shipment for a full refund. Once the pallet has been built, a preparation charge may apply — and once the freight carrier picks it up, shipping costs are non-refundable and standard return terms apply. Your pre-purchase interview shows the exact numbers before you pay.
