Disadvantages of the Hyundai-Kia A5GF1 gearbox
- The automatic transmission is reliable, but abrupt starts quickly wear out the torque converter lockup clutch;
- The wear debris then clogs the valve body, and the lubrication pressure in the system drops;
- Due to the reduced lubrication pressure, the clutch packs burn out, starting with Overdrive;
- Accelerating and slipping also damage the planetary gear bushings and bearings;
- Service technicians also often replace the input and output shaft speed sensors.
