    I own a 2001 Elantra and it would have problems shifting.
    So, I drained the ATF and put new ATF in.
    I think it has to be SPIII compatible,
    Well, so far the transmission is still working.

    Oh, when I first bought the car, it would shift hard from park to drive if it was cold outside.
    Brought it to AAMCO and $400 dollars later, it was fixed.
    I just don't know enough about transmissions
