gear shift problem in hyundai Elantra wagon 1997

[sudcricket]

Hi, I have a hyundai Elantra 1997 model. and I have a gear shift problem. The problem doesnt happen when the car is cold, but as it runs and temp increases the car wont shift from 15-20-25 mph. as if its stuck and then moves hard. I read the topic on nissan 240 similar problems with many owners and the solution found was "removing the plug from revolution sensor, and the backup speedometer will tell the module when to shift". Is there any such solution for Hyundai Elanta aswell. Please do let me know, you can also e-mail me at [email protected].

Thanks,Sudhakar

I'm not sure if the Elantra has a backup speed sensor like the 240sx does or not...

I guess you could always start by unplugging the speed sensor...if your speedometer still reads properly after it's unplugged, either your car has a secondary speed sensor, or it's possessed.

Possibly need a transmission flush. My 86 Nova (3 spd auto) had a similar problem. I had to ease of the gas (A LOT) to get it to shift. A transmission flush cured it.

Solution: Don't drive Hyundais.

Wait. You found "Others"? Holy crap. I may be wrong, but I think this is the second girl in NICO history to come over here (Colie being the first). Be careful. Be VERY careful.

I took it to a local mechanic as I was pissed of by the dealers mechanic. My mechanic diagonised and found that the air flow meter /sensor could be a problem, he put one used one. I drove car for more than 60 miles since then, working fine, but check engine light came back, I didnt feel any problem while driving, I dont know why the check engine light is on. May be the loose gas cap. Its the major problem with the hyundai's, you fill the gas everytime, and within two drives, it will show the check engine. Not sure why its this time, I will go to AutoZone and get it checked. Will update later..
