Compare Hyundai auto gearbox specialist repair quotes from specialist garages

Hyundai was the first car maker to mass-produce a hydrogen-powered vehicle called the ix35 Fuel Cell. This car isn't the only interesting thing it has been involved in making - in partnership with the makers of the hit TV series The Walking Dead, Hyundai has also created several futuristic Zombie Survival Machines. The brand owns the world's biggest automobile manufacturing facility, covering a staggering 3.1 square miles and producing over 1.6 million cars yearly in Ulsan, South Korea.

Automatic gearboxes use hydraulic power to change gears. A torque converter connects the engine to the transmission and uses pressurised fluid to transfer power to the gears. Because this system is more complex, there is more scope for it to develop problems, requiring an automatic gearbox repair.

Signs of a bad automatic gearbox include:

• Gears slipping
• The car won't respond or engage while in gear
• A burning smell
• Leaking fluid
• Grinding or shaking

You should contact an auto gearbox specialist when you notice any of these symptoms. An automatic gearbox specialist repair could take a few days due to its complexity, but it isn't the sort of repair you should put off.

The best way to stave off problems is to have an automatic gearbox service done regularly. This process involves draining the transmission fluid and replacing the filter, which can extend the life of your automatic gearbox.
