- Automatic Transmission (AT): Common in most Hyundai models, automatic transmissions shift gears automatically based on driving conditions. Examples include the A4F12, A4F16, and A6F17.
- Manual Transmission (MT): Found in some Hyundai models, manual transmissions require the driver to manually shift gears using a clutch pedal and gear stick.
- Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVTs provide smooth and efficient power delivery by continuously adjusting the gear ratio. Hyundai models like the Accent use CVTs.
- Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT): DCTs offer quick and smooth gear changes by using two separate clutches for odd and even gears. Hyundai's D7GF1 and D7UF1 are examples of DCTs.
- Fluid Checks: Regularly check the transmission fluid level and condition. Low or dirty fluid can lead to transmission issues.
- Scheduled Service: Follow Hyundai's recommended maintenance schedule for transmission services, including fluid changes and inspections.
- Signs of Issues: Watch for symptoms like slipping gears, delayed engagement, unusual noises, or a burning smell. These can indicate transmission problems.
