I have a Hyundai Veloster 2015 base (dual-clutch transmission) that has 152,000 miles. I’ve regularly kept up with maintenance. Fully synthetic oil changed every ~5k miles. About a month ago it got a brand new battery and a new alternator. I have some issues related to the transmission. My owners manual regarding transmission fluid says:
TRANSMISSION FLUID:
-Checking 6-speed automatic transmission fluid:
The automatic transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick. Refer to your scheduled maintenance information for scheduled intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not consume fluid.
I’ve recently experienced intermittent issues with the transmission failing to engage 1st gear from a stop. I have a code P073F as well as P0420 that’s been intermittent for months. (I know that’s the cat converter) The engine revs but does not accelerate at all from a stop on occasion. It happened three times in the week.
Also have issues with clutch (DCT) overheating. When this occurs, I will see the current gear that I am in (usually D but it has occurred in all others except P, N, and R) begins to flash (usually three times) with a chime warning noise. Restarting the vehicle resolves the issue occasionally.
Then, a few days ago, after coming off of the highway I was no longer to get the car to go faster than around 20 to 30 mph and began to hear a loud clanking/metallic sound seemingly from the engine. The gear indicator began blinking rapidly and continued to blink in every gear in D as well as S and even when I put the vehicle in park. After turning it off and waiting about 10 mins I turned it on and the “P†was no longer blinking. I decided to test driving it through the parking lot and began blinking again pretty much as soon as it shifted gears and began to hear a metallic noise again.
I suppose that I assumed it being a closed-circuit or “sealed†transmission meant there wasn’t maintenance to be done on it. However, I am now wondering if the issues I’ve been experiencing could potentially be due to the fact that I’ve never had the transmission serviced at all, and it has 152k miles.
