Hyundai begins production of new in-house developed six-speed automatic transmission
Following in the footsteps of Toyota and a joint-venture between Ford and General Motors, Hyundai has completed work on its new in-house developed six-speed automatic transmission. The new gearbox will be used in vehicles with transversely-mounted powerplants. Hyundai started development of the new transmission four years ago with reduced emissions in mind. As a [...]

Sounds promising. But it has a tall mountain to climb in terms of
reliability if it wants to compete with the outgoing five-speed. I haven't met the Hyundai (or Kia) dealer yet who didn't absolutely crow about this transmission. VERY few problems - very reliable. <sjmmail2000-247@yahoo.co.uk> wrote in message news:_KWdnRTNjardHsnUnZ2dnUVZ8trinZ2d@bt.com... > Following in the footsteps of Toyota and a joint-venture between Ford and > General Motors, Hyundai has completed work on its new in-house developed > six-speed automatic transmission.

Supposidly 6 speed transmissions actually have fewer moving parts then 5
speeds, so thats always a good thing. "Rev. Tom Wenndt" <trwenndt@grics.net> wrote in message news:gjapmf01cac@enews5.newsguy.com... > Sounds promising.

The XG was the first Hyundai/Kia vehicle with this transmission, and there were several issues in the first year of production. Additionally, Hyundai has already been using a Aisin-Warner 6-speed transmission in the Veracruz. It's basically the same transmission Toyota has been using with few problems. The Genesis has/will have two different 6-speed transmissions (actually three, but two differ in pretty much only gear ratio), but I know little about whether they're already in use in other products. |
