my Genesis G70 transmission slips when shifting from park to drive

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery for safety.

2. Check and Replace Transmission Fluid

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the transmission dipstick and wipe it clean.
  2. Insert the dipstick back into the tube and remove it again to check fluid level and condition.
  3. If fluid is low or burnt, drain the old fluid using a fluid pump.
  4. Replace the old fluid with new transmission fluid as per manufacturer specifications (refer to the owner's manual for the correct type).
  5. Recheck the fluid level with the dipstick and add more if necessary.

3. Inspect and Adjust Transmission Linkage

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the transmission linkage connected to the transmission and the gear shifter.
  2. Inspect for any signs of wear, bending, or damage.
  3. Adjust the linkage if misaligned according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  4. Tighten any loose bolts to secure the linkage properly.

4. Test Transmission Solenoids

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the transmission pan if necessary to access the solenoids.
  2. Use a multimeter to test the resistance of each solenoid; refer to specifications for acceptable values.
  3. Replace any solenoids that are out of specification.

5. Reassemble and Reconnect Battery

• Sub-steps:
  1. Reinstall the transmission pan if it was removed, making sure to use a new gasket.
  2. Torque the pan bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  3. Reconnect the battery.
