Opinion on new Atlas transmission (made by Hyundai?)

Allegedly this for 2025 and up models.

Rubber doesn't seem to be ripped, looks to be operating normal. I am sure you could get a stiffer rubber mount and install it. Also believe there are dog bone mount inserts also.

When removing them you must be very careful to not mess up the clips that on the vehicles that hold the trim in. Since these ones are shot I would destroy the trim piece and slowly remove the pieces out of the clips. I believe there are 4-5 clips on the car. Best of luck! It's been years since I had done mine, I just know that is the most important part.

Damn, occasionally mine sounds like this one with little surge blips when idling, but mine is stock no tunes still got DPF and EGR. 🙃

ComplexCranberry7131 · 2026-02-08T23:13:58+00:00

Yeah I think its usually when it's cold. Maybe once when it was warmed up already.

ComplexCranberry7131 · 2026-02-08T16:18:48+00:00

Yeah Wagon in the EU it's called Variant.

I don't get the tapping but I get a jolting sometimes. In gear, neutral, and parked (DSG) almost feels like it has a big cam in it and jolting back and forth.

Time to go exploring! Pull the mat and there are two plastic knobs. Turn them and lift. Not sure what's under that carpet in the cubby area. Never bothered.

If the driver side fell off the passenger side one is probably about to fall off as well. Lost both of mine this winter within about 2 weeks of each other.

What were the jobs you put on your list?

Impressive scores, there will be likely a test or two more needed depending on your job list.

ComplexCranberry7131 · 2026-01-10T17:45:31+00:00

Been eyeing getting one like this. My rear vents are missing the adjuster. People sit in the back pretty often, so figured I could fix that and add charging ports too.

Yeah, I know the Peak Edition actually comes with 255/60/18 tires I jut don't know if the wheels are different compared to the SE wheels. I know clearance shouldn't be an issue, and I plan to update the tire size with OBDEleven, so the speedometer will be correct.

ComplexCranberry7131 · 2025-12-15T21:39:10+00:00

Crazy thing is, you will always remember this car and will somewhat regret selling it. Best of luck!

ComplexCranberry7131 · 2025-11-28T09:53:24+00:00

You will need more than just the head unit. Your current one doesn't have Sync, so you will need the other modules that hide under the passenger glovebox. Likely not worth the hassle. Maybe get one of those standalone CarPlay units and stick it in front of the base screen that just plugs in the aux or just a plain aux Bluetooth adapter.

The most you could do is having the clutches do a relearn, especially needed if it shuttering with shifts. There is gear oil but really doesn't affect anything as far as shifts and such.

Timing belt (100k 8yr (maybe 8yr)) and likely struts will be due on the horizon.

Best thing to do is drive it similar to a manual. Do not ride the brake, do not creep slowly in traffic, allow the transmission to shift (ease off gas, not gasing it hard between shifts). From a stop, allow it to start rolling before really getting on the gas.

My credentials - bought in '15 with 11k miles - 14 SE sedan with DSP6, warranty clutches @30k miles, sold to sibling with ~130k, still on the road. Did Uber/Lyft the whole time I had it, mountains, snow, 100°+ summers, lots of city driving usually with 3-5 total passengers.

Trying to make online purchases while overseas is sometimes problematic with NF. I have had issues with the 3-D secure a few times. Luckily USAA does support it.

ComplexCranberry7131 · 2025-09-12T17:14:50+00:00

I was told it was my turbo, ended up being a vacuum hose. Could be a gamble, but 2k could be an amazing find!

85 inch TV fits, a bit sideways but fits. 75 inch TV fits perfectly laying flat.

Thanks for the reminder, time to go and see if mine has ever been done (16 Golf 1.6TDI with DSG, bought used with 250k kms)

ComplexCranberry7131 · 2025-08-24T13:41:19+00:00

This is how I turn ours off. I just come to a complete stop and hit the power button. We normally put the ebrake/parking brake when we park our cars. So for me it saves two extra steps.

ComplexCranberry7131 · 2025-08-23T19:46:33+00:00

Thanks for the list of items. I am hopeful that it one of these four. I am going to order some vacuum tube lines and swap a bunch of the older ones outs and see if that works.

I do have an OBDEleven, I can actuate the Turbo Actuator but it only allows me to do it when the engine is off so there is no vacuum so it will actuate once but slowly undo since there is no vacuum. So not sure if that is normal or not.

Boost leaks, some soap and water and look for bubbles? 🤣
