2009 Sonata Automatic Transmission
I just test drove a 2009 Sonata SE 4cyl Auto. Noticed a Problem (?)
with the transmission that concerned me. Up shifts were very firm. No
slipping or delayed shifting or slamming into gear. Just a very
noticeable shift between all gears. My other cars are both GM products
and the transmission shifts are almost unnoticeable, sometimes I have to
check the tachometer to figure out what gear I am in.
Is this rough shifting an indication of a transmission problem or just
the way the transmission is designed?
TIA,
Larry

My GM car had the same problem. Cost about $2300 to have it fixed.
My Sonata is the V-6 and shifts very smooth. I think it is a different gear
box than the 4 though.

Why not go and drive another car with a similar setup? Then'd you
could tell first hand.

Sounds normal to me, but JL gives excellent advice.
