Are you the first or 2nd owner??? Original owner gets a 10yr/100k miles powertrain warranty. 2nd owner is 5yr/60k. If you are less than 60k, it should still be under, but not for long. I am a parts manager at a Hyundai dealership in Indianapolis, and we have done quite a few Elantra transmissions. Their quality has gone up quite a bit in the last couple years and we don't see them that much anymore. A transmission from the dealer isn't all that expensive. They list out at over $1500, but the dealer only pays $630. If I sell an over the counter transmission, I never sell it at full list, because nobody will pay that much. I usually go for around $800-$1000, depending if the customer has maintenance done with our dealership. These are reman transmission from Hyundai, and there is a $1000 core on top of it. Try your local Hyundai dealer and try to negotiate price, because they have a lot of room to play.
