transmission

I just bought a 2012 that was completely under water for a few days. I know the transmission is a sealed unit but I figure there has to be a vent hole somewhere on it. Does anyone know if this unit is completely sealed or if it has a hole somewhere to vent where water could have gotten into...

New to the group. Bought my R-Spec in January. Really love driving it. Just reviewing some of the threads here... helps to know that exhaust tip blackening thing is happening to others. My question: Just today (for the 3rd time) - sent the car back to dealership for transmission seal failure...

I have this problem every single morning. When the car has sat all night in my garage, and go to move my shift level to reverse, there is a pretty audible popping sound. I can duplicate this every single morning. Has anybody noticed this?

I started to look for a car I like the genesis sedan does it ever come with manual transmission? I made a pact to my self to never drive automatic car anymore for my own driving enjoyment purpose nothing against automatic transmission Thanks

I have a 2010 V8 Tech with the 5-speed ZF transmission. My car has 31k miles. The dealer just told me they think that the transmission computer is what's been causing error lights intermittently the last few weeks; they are ordering the part. Seems like a major repair--anyone else had...

Hi guys, figured I'd sign up and start trolling around before the 2014 Genesis is avail for purchase.... and yes i know it will prob come with a 10sp. My question is regarding the current 8sp transmission. Kind of wierd there are is no engine/trans sub sections on the board... guess that...

I have had my 2010 Genesis 4.6 for a little over 2.5 years, and during the entire time, I've had issues with a noise that was first thought to be a tire problem. I replaced the OEM tires with Serenity tires which did not fix the problem. Even though these tires had been road force balanced and...

I've started to notice a very slight clunk, in the transmission when I'm accelerating from a stand still. Sounds like it's happening between 2-3-4 gear, under normal aceleration... almost sound like somthing is moving in the trunk... any thoughts...??? My 2012 RSpec has 8000 miles...

Hey all, I have a weird question but, does anyone know how much power the 2009-2011 V6 transmission can handle? Reason being is I might buy a V6 (for less money than the 8) and throw a single or twin turbo on her. This totally depends, however, on how much power the trans and rods can handle...

The ZF fluid for the 6 speed on the 4.6L V8 is Shell M-1375.4. I just bot a BMW with the same tranny, so I found a reliable source : $22.95 a qt. My plan is to open the drain hole and dump out as much fluid that will come out of that hole. @ 60k miles. Then I will measure the amount of...

Has anyone noticed the awful whine of the AT when decelerating down a hill in a lower gear - It's quite noticeable with the windows down. The noise can also be replicated during partial throttle manual shifting.... Want to make sure I'm not the lone man out here -- hopefully I won't get the...

Has anyone experienced any slight 'grinding' of gears (syncronizer problem)when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear?

My '12 R-Spec has the "brake hold" function as most, if not all 2012s. I have had a serious problem with my brakes lightly clamping while stopped, irrespective of the brake hold being engaged. Sometimes the brakes will clamp at abut 1-2 mph. causing a jolting stop. If I stopped while the...

I've had my R-Spec for a week and after 500 miles I agree that the transmission is the weak spot of the car. My foot should not hit the floorboard before it shifts gears but it sure does. After a sluggish start it takes off like a bat out of hell and the passing power is really impressive (I'm...

I have a 2012 3.8. It seems like almost every professional review of the vehicle, regardless of model (3.8, 4.6, 5.0) mentions the slow downshifting of the new 8 speed auto. It shifts smoothly on the way up but not only does it take a serious kick on the accelerator to get it to downshift at...

Hey guys, I'm kind of new to this forum, but I had an observation about my brand-new Genesis Coupe (4cyl-turbo, 6-speed manual). Sometimes I noticed that the shifter seems to "get stuck" when I try to shift it out of 5th gear and into neutral. I don't have any issue with shifting from any of...

I leased a new 2011 Genesis sedan a few months ago. After driving BMWs for many years I was looking for something with a somewhat softer ride. I came to the Genesis for the style, quiet ride and certainly the value proposition. After about 5k trouble free miles I now have a problem. While...

First off: I don't call it the " Sport " mode - cause it isn't sporty :( The car shifts up and down through the gears despite my intentions - it has a mind of it's own Lately - when I put it in manual mode - after about 5 minutes of spirited driving - the transmission lets loose with this...

Just at 63k miles and I noticed this weekend, after coming to a stop , in gear, I feel the car shift into first gear, just a little. I don't remember having this happen with this car before. it is just a stutter like something is trying to push the car. since I have the brake on it doesn't...
