Tranny cooler when towing
I just got a hitch put on my Santa Fe. I plan on towing a 28' boat this summer since I just got it. The dock where I'll be going is about a half hour away and theres alot of stop and go. Is it a good idea to have a tranny cooler installed for these types of things?

I would recommend it. I don't know much about the Santa Fe trans in particular, but I do know that any truck that is towing something that heavy should have a cooler installed.
I sell engines and transmissions for a living and a replacement trans for that truck could cost you a few thousand dollars, before installation. Furthermore, they aren't available from aftermarket providers yet, so this would have to come from a dealer. A good tranny cooler can be installed for only a few hundred dollars, seems like cheap insurance to me. |

Hello, Please excuse my ignorance but I recently inherited from my brother who passed away a 2006 Hyundai Tucson. He had installed an aftermarket non-Hyundai transmission because the original had problems. My question is would it damage the vehicle to have a non-Hyundai transmission in it? Should I have installed a Hyundai transmission? Thank you for any information and assistance you can give me... Jane |
No it should be fine. Chances are that the transmission is not aftermarket. It is more likely that it is a hyundi transmission that was rebuilt or re-manufactured by an aftermarket company, it would then be sold as an aftermarket re-manufactured transmission.
