Found a 2011 Genesis Preview - 8 Speed tranny.....

Here is the preview I found.

2011 Genesis

 

[Mark_888]

The preview states:

"Significantly, when the Genesis sedan was introduced for model-year 2009, the word “Hyundai” did not appear anywhere on it; a stylized “H” logo sufficed. It’ll be interesting to see if Hyundai has become confident enough to put its full name on the freshened 2011 model."

Does Hyundai put anything other than the "H" on any of their cars? What are they talking about?

If an 8-speed transmission is available, I wonder if it will be a Hyundai design or from ZF or Aisin. I would be very leery of a new Hyundai transmission, but that is just my personal opinion.

The article uses the wrong competitors though.

Yes, preview is the exact description of that articles info. The 8 speed is tantilizing.

It will be interesting to see an actual review of the 8 speed once it's out.

The 8-speed is a Hyundai transmission. They have a seperate group called Hyundai Powertech for transmissions.

Since we are the preeminent Genesis website, maybe they can provide some handy information about the slow shifts in lower gears.

Who knows, maybe the new 8 speed tranny addresses this issue?

I'm sure it will, by 15mph you'll be in 4th gear

Since most of us are driving 2009/10 models, introducing the 8-speed does not address our current issue.

Sometimes the 'fix' is to upgrade to the latest release.

Rich, your ZF is in a bunch of other makes. Why don't you check out this forum below, and ask these dudes if their ZF 6hp26 is giving the same problem.
