How to Change Trans fluid in an 03 Tiburon

[deermjd]

I am searching for DIY instructions on how to replace the transmission fluid on a Tiburon. The dealer quoted me $200 on a fluid flush and refill. I have experience changing trans fluid on other vehicles but I'm not familiar with the automatic transaxle on the Tiburon. To my knowledge, a repair manual (such as Haynes) does not exist for the Tiburon.

The car is a 03 Tiburon GT V6 with the auto transmission.

3. Pour the new fluid in through the oil filler tube. CAUTION: Stop pouring if the full volume of fluid cannot be poured inch)
4. Repeat the procedure in step 1 if too much fluid was added.
5. Reconnect the hose that was disconnected in step 1 above, and firmly replace the oil level gauge.
6. Start the engine and run it at idle for 1-2 minutes.
7. Move the select lever through all positions, and then move it to the N position.
8. Drive the vehicle until the fluid temperature rises to the normal temperature (70-80°C), and then check the fluid level again. The fluid level must be at the HOT Mark.
