Hyundai Santa Fe
Your Hyundai Santa Fe relies on a well-maintained transmission to perform smoothly and efficiently. If you’ve noticed unusual shifting, strange noises, or power loss, it could be a sign your transmission needs attention.
At Automatic Transmissions R Us, we provide diagnostics, repairs, and rebuilds for all Hyundai Santa Fe transmissions. Our Perth-based specialists use high-quality parts and advanced testing to get your vehicle back on the road fast.
Common Hyundai Santa Fe Transmission Problems
Every vehicle develops wear over time, and the Hyundai Santa Fe is no exception. Common transmission issues include:
- Slipping gears – When the transmission struggles to stay in gear or unexpectedly shifts out under load.
- Rough or delayed shifting – Hesitation, harshness, or difficulty when changing gears.
- Fluid leaks – Often caused by worn seals, gaskets, or damaged components that allow transmission fluid to escape.
- Burning smell or overheating – Usually a sign of excessive heat or deteriorated transmission fluid.
- Warning lights – Dashboard alerts triggered by the vehicle’s control system detecting a transmission or drivetrain fault.
If you notice any of these symptoms in your Hyundai Santa Fe, book a transmission inspection before the issue worsens.
Signs Your Hyundai Santa Fe Transmission Needs Servicing
Knowing when to service your transmission helps avoid costly repairs. Schedule a service if you experience:
- Jerky gear changes or delayed response – noticeable surging, hesitation, or uneven movement when accelerating or shifting.
- Unusual noises – clunking, whining, or grinding sounds while driving or idling.
- Dark or burnt transmission fluid – fluid that appears discoloured or smells burnt, indicating contamination or overheating.
- Vibrations or shuddering – shaking or juddering felt through the vehicle at certain speeds or during gear changes.
We recommend servicing your Hyundai Santa Fe transmission every 12 months or 20,000 km to keep it performing at its best.
