    2012 3.8 Transmission Delay

    Greetings- My Genesis is really starting to irritate me. The first time I brought home my car and my wife took it out, she came back and said: "How come it doesn't go when you push the pedel down". The delay in this car is crazy. You have to half floor the peddle to get going and then it is...

    Transmission slips a bit in first when cold

    I've noticed that when the car is cold and if I accelerate a bit too briskly, the transmission slips for a split second. I don't mean flooring it, just when I give it a bit more gas rather than ease into things. I don't generally push my car or my engine hard when it's cold (if anything I try...

    Transmission Troubles?

    At 36,000 my 2009 4.6 started sticking in 3rd - even at freeway speeds and would not go past 3rd after a hot restart. Only after a thorough cool-down would the car get past 3rd gear (reverse was ok). Hyundai REPLACED the transmission (under warranty). Any body else have this happen or similar...

    3.8 and 4.6 transmission

    The transmission on my 3.6 is awful. It is rough shifting, is has a lag time for the engine and transmission to get together which gives you a nice jolt when it does. It also can't find which gear it needs to be in. I have it at the dealer for the 2nd time for transmission problems and this...

    Changing Transmission Fluid

    My observations are that automatic transmission maintenance is often neglected or ignored completely. In my opinion, auto transmissions are the weakest element in modern drivetrains. This is not to say they are not reliable for say 100,000 miles. But a neglected transmission will not have...

    '09 V8 Transmission Recall

    Visited the dealership for the 7,500 mile service and was informed that there is a recall notice being issued for the V-8 transmission. I asked what that meant, and was told it is an upgrade for the transmission software(?) that would take several hours to perform. They couldn't do this today...

    Transmission Problems

    Having put up with the sorriest shifting transmission in the world I decided to look at trading my Genesis. Since I looked at M-35's when I purchased the Genesis ans I own an I-35, which has a smooth as silk shifting transmission, I started researching the M-37. In a review of the M-37 I read...

    4.6 Transmission Downshift

    After combing this site for a couple of months finally picked up a ‘10 4.6Tech the first of May . I love the car so far but there are a couple of annoying things I wanted to get feedback on from other members. First, when coasting to a stop there are noticeable down shift points at around 42mph...

    What if 2011 Sonata with Genesis 3.8 and transmission?

    What would the 2011 Sonata be like if it had the Genesis 3.8 engine and transmission? Very fast I presume. What about MPG? Would it even fit the engine bay?

    Price of ZF Transmission Fluid (CRAZY)

    You guys are not going to believe this. The V8 Sedan (and the V6 Coupe) uses the German made ZF 6 Speed Transmission. This is the same transmission that is used in many BMW's and Jaguars. This Transmission fluid is the M-1375.4 Fluid. Well, in reading posts in www.bobistheoilguy.com (go in...

    Why 6HP26 ZF transmission?

    As I hunted around I found that the genesis V8 got the 6HP26 transmission, I am curious if anyone knows why that model? The 6HP26 design dates to 2001 but the 6HP28 is a more modern design. 6hp28 is still older than the Genesis (available in 2007) but ZF claims 50% faster shift times than the...

    Funky Transmission

    Hello... Is anyone having strange transmission issues? My Genesis 3.8 w/ Tech's transmission seems to shift extremely rapid from 1 - 2 - 3rd even before I get to 20 mph.. Im used to driving a big truck so this may just be getting used to the car.

    Reprogramming the transmission shift points

    Has anyone here toyed with the idea of getting higher shift points and quicker shifts from this tranny (primarily in manual mode)? I would be very interested in this if anyone finds out where and how? thanks

    Aisin 6spd Auto w/Shiftronic vs ZF 6spd AT??

    Didn't see a section for trannys, so I'll ask it here: Does anyone have any comparisons between the two? Does any current car use either of these trannys?
