Disadvantages of the Hyundai-Kia A4AF2 gearbox

  • In the early years of production, there were many complaints about the quality of assembly and some components;
  • Then, rapid bushing wear became the catalyst for the main problems with this transmission;
  • This caused lubrication pressure to drop, causing the clutch packs to burn;
  • Dirt from the burnt clutches clogged the valve body solenoids, causing jerking;
  • Service centers also frequently replace differential bearings and solenoid wiring.​​​​​​​
