Season Greetings to all,

I am experiancing a wierd issue ever since winter started and have no idea what could be causing it.

I have a 1999 Tib with automatic transimsion.

not gona go into details for now, but here is the gist of the problem.

Ever since the colder weather, for the first 20-30 minutres of driving if i do a quick stop, the car will stall on me.
I do warm up the engine before driving, and don't drive sprited for the first while to allow for transmission to to warm up.

Even so i am faced with this problam. This is the first year I am having this issue and there where no mods done to the engine.

Have anyone else experianced this problem on an automatic transmision before?


thanks in advance.

 

"... and the last time I changed the transmission fluid and filter was xxx miles"

 

Hey, well got the issue solved.

Was extremly wierd took it to two diffirent garages, after getting diffirent answers from both of them, with huge estimates i decided to try my luck and just add more oil into the transmission.

Problem solved.

Stocker i actualy had an oil change less then a thousand km ago, didn't get the filter changed since couldn't afford it, so they did by draining the oil from the top, and my guese is they didn't add enouph back in.

Anwyays problem solved,

thanks ^^

 

lmao.gif Now you know to save your money and DIY on the transmission oil & filter change? Good, because our cars run their transmissions too hot and the oil burns around 10-15k miles. Install a cooler or change frequently if you want the longest possible service from your car. And ALWAYS ONLY ONLY ALWAYS ONLY use the Hyundai fluid in a Hyundai automatic.

I'm glad you're back on the road.

 

Thanks for the advise stocker.

When you say the car runs the transmission hot, would that be the reason why when they checked my transmision fluid level they showed to high of a level before a change? or is that no related.

also wouldn't installing an oil cooler reduce the oil pressure?


thanks

 

The oil is run 10-15 degrees warmer than it should on RD platform (and other Hyundai) cars. This leads to premature aging of the oil. It should stay RED like it was when it went in. Look after <20,000miles and it's very likely your oil will be BROWN and not doing as good a job. Then it is time to change it. With the hyundai-only unicorn pee that they overcharge you for at the dealership, this gets expensive eventually.

The car already has a transaxle oil cooler. It is mounted in the engine coolant radiator. You can use the lines going to the stock cooler, when you install the aftermarket cooler. An oil cooler will have one effect: cooler oil. Ideally, it will have some sort of thermostatic temperature control, but not necessarily (a temperature gauge for your transaxle oil would be nice wouldn't it? ). You will have a side benefit of a slightly increased oil capacity as well. The oil pressure in the innards of the transmission should not be reduced by the addition of a better oil cooler.

 

Ok thanks.

Will defenitly add it to my to do list for the spring/summer.
