Removal and installation of automatic transmission Hyundai Santa Fe

Tools:

• Straight ring wrench 10 mm

• socket head 12 mm
• Socket head 14 mm
• socket head 17 mm 
• socket head 24 mm
• Screwdriver flat medium

Note:

The work of removing and installing the gearbox is very laborious, so be sure to first make sure that its malfunctions cannot be eliminated without removal (insufficient working fluid level, drive defects, loosening of the gearbox, etc.).

The gearbox is quite heavy and has an awkward shape to hold, so we recommend removing it with an assistant.
