Hyundai Elantra uses a transmission manufactured by Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions, affiliated with the Toyota Group of Japan, and holds a high market share in the transmission field. The Hyundai Elantra is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. The manual shift mode essentially adds manual shifting functionality to traditional AT or CVT transmissions. The purpose of this feature is to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic transmission vehicles. When using the Hyundai Elantra's transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing; Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back to D (Drive) gear; Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift directly into reverse while the vehicle is still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other failures; Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D gear. Automatic transmission vehicles can overheat under high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power when climbing steep slopes. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission; Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in N (Neutral) gear. Towing with a rope or directly dragging the vehicle is not recommended.
