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:
- Verify VIN 8th digit is 'E' or '2' (indicates 2.0L Nu engine).
- Check for 'A Off' button on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. If present, the vehicle has ISG and this transmission will not fit.
- Verify vehicle build date on the driver's door jamb placard is on or before October 15, 2014 (for 2015 models).
- Locate the barcode sticker or etched number on top of the transmission case to confirm original part number is 45000-26510.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Engine support bar
- Subframe/transmission jack
- OBD-II scan tool with OEM-level capabilities
Budget for these consumables at install:
- Kia Genuine ATF SP-IV (or equivalent fully synthetic low-viscosity fluid meeting SP-IV specifications)
- Torque Converter Seal (Front Pump Seal)
- Axle Seals (Left and Right)
- High-quality RTV silicone (such as Kia RTV P/N UM010 CH046) or new OE molded rubber gasket for side cover (if removed)
- Transmission cooler line flush aerosol/solvent
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: TCM Adaptive Value Reset & Relearn
sources differ: Arm 1 states an OEM-level scan tool is required to initiate the reset command, while Arm 2 states a dealer-exclusive tool is not required and outlines manual steps. A TCM adaptive reset is highly recommended to prevent immediate harsh shifting or clutch damage. Relearn involves a stationary cycle (P-N-D shifts) and a dynamic road test (light throttle through all 6 gears).
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Torque Converter Seating: Must feel 3 distinct drops/clicks to fully seat. If not fully seated, bolting the transmission to the engine will crush and destroy the internal oil pump.
- Sealed Unit Fluid Level Check: No dipstick. Must check via overflow plug on front plastic side cover with vehicle level, engine running, and fluid temperature strictly between 122°F and 140°F (50°C to 60°C).
- Subframe Alignment: Dropping the subframe is required. Ensure alignment dowels are perfectly seated to prevent steering misalignment and axle vibrations.
- Axle Seal Damage: Be extremely careful when inserting CV axles to avoid nicking or tearing the seals.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Ordering for a 1.6L engine (which uses the smaller A6GF1 transmission with a different bellhousing bolt pattern).
- ISG vs Non-ISG Mismatch: Ordering this non-ISG unit (45000-26510) for a vehicle equipped with Idle Stop & Go (which requires the electric oil pump version 45000-26600).
- Misdiagnosing engine issues (like a clogged catalytic converter from oil consumption causing sluggishness) as transmission failure.
- Skipping the mandatory transmission cooler line flush, which recirculates old debris and destroys the replacement unit.
- Skipping the TCM adaptive value reset, causing the computer to apply incorrect hydraulic pressures.
- Using incorrect fluid types (like SP-III or generic multi-vehicle ATF) instead of SP-IV.
Not issues with the units on this page — the manufacturer documented these for every transmission of this family, wherever you buy one. Handy for your installer:
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace internal temperature sensor or its integrated ribbon harness (triggers codes P0711, P0712, P0713).
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace individual solenoids or internal wiring harness (triggers codes P0741, P0743, P0748, P0753, P0758, P0763, P0768, P0773, P1778, P2709).
🔎 Recommended at install: Verify and update Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software calibration (triggers codes P0729, P0734, P0735).
🔎 Recommended at install: Regular fluid maintenance and mandatory cooler flush at install to prevent clogged valve body passages.

Policies, in plain English.
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.
