I am wondering if anyone has had this problem. I have a 1999 Tiburon with
70k miles and when driving the transmission locks in 3rd gear. It happens
intermitenly, no matter if the car is cold or hot. And it does not happen
all the time...in fact most of the time the car shifts perfectly. When the
car would stick in 3rd gear I would pull over, turn my car off, and then on
and it is fine. However, yesterday that procedure did not work. I would
turn it off, then on, and although it would reset back to first gear it
would get stuck back in 3rd again. As a result of this happening yesterday
my "check engine" came on. I started my car this morning and it ran fine.
The transmission shifted smoothly with no signs of the problem.
I checked my fluid and it is a nice red color with plenty of fluid. I just
had the transmission service the old change before last(approx 4,000
miles.
I have made an appointment with my dealership for friday on this. But I
was wondering if anyone has an idea of what is causing this. Do you think
it would be under warranty? What should I expect when I take it to the
dealer?
Thanks in advance.
