Transmission Issue?

[kg4pto]

2013 Genesis R-Spec 5.0

I have a possible transmission issue. When I am in manual 3rd, it seems almost like the torque converter clutch is locking and unlocking because intermittently, the tachometer will drop back to idle, then come back up. I know it's not just the tach because the engine revs drop and come back up.

EDIT: this ONLY happens during coast/engine braking situations, not during acceleration.

Could one of the clutches for 3rd gear be slipping?

Need to know the model year of your Genesis.

Whoops! sorry about that...I edited my original post, but it is a 2013 Genesis R-Spec 5.0.

Its covered under warranty if under 60k miles and if you are the original owner or it is a CPO it has a 100k miles warranty.

There were some known problems with the early 2012 transmissions, but they should have been fixed by the time yours was built.

My build date is July of 2013 so probably one of the last ones made for the 2013 model year, so I would imagine all of the "teething problems" were fixed either through design improvements and software updates.

From reading through the forum, it seems like most problems were not related to the actual transmission, but rather the software that controls it. Is that a fair assessment?
