Hyundai has announced a new 6-speed automatic transmission that is smaller, lighter and more compact (41mm shorter) than any other 6-speed auto on the market, one that is so unique that it has applied for nearly 300 patents related to the transmission.
The 6-speed auto is also 12kg lighter, 41mm shorter and has 62 fewer parts than the 5-speed automatic it will replace in the Hyundai parts line-up. Fuel economy is improved by 12% thanks to the additional gear ratio. It is designed for transverse installations and uses “filled for life’ automatic transmission fluid that is designed not to need topping up.
The first application of this transmission in a production vehicle will be in a Hyundai Grandeur, where it will be paired to a 3.3 litre v6 engine.

not bad…. good job
Wow.. that is why Hyundai can improve so fast.. now they are leading the world as the most lightest 6-speed auto gearbox!?! I am thinking how we gonna surive this technology war and also recession…
Continuous Improvement policy is the Key Success for Hyundai/Kia…..
Zero Defect policy Is Second Key Success for Hyundai/Kia…..
Happy Technology Journey to Hyundai/Kia :)
I don’t think they are fast.
This project might be started few years ago.. at least 5 – 10 years ago.
But it’s good sign if this gearbox proven better. and remember, when it come to gearbox.. the durability and ‘hard to broke’ are the main factor.

no, your are disgrace..you fucking idiot
Hyundai growing fast with Dumex. Btw, since global recession cause big effect on auto industries to Japan, US, Europe. Never heard news on Korean cars industries. How? Izzit big impact to them as well?
WOW! Not only they have managed to built the world smaller, lighter and more compact 6-speed auto on the market but the thing that got me VERY IMPRESSED is that it designed not to need topping up. Again, WOW! A job well done and credit to Hyundai for their hard work…bravo!
nice technology… but what happen if we use that gearbox in 3 years or so, then kong… what will hyundai said then??? hmmmm… kong….. no need top up oil…. kong…. hmmmmmmmm~~
yeah proton is progressing very fast as its gen2 is to be assembled in iran. good job!
ops wrong post hahaha.
Wow nice job. i predict that US auto will die and asian manufacturer will prosper when the recession is over.
Hyundai is getting better nowadays, but what doesn’t seem to improve is the market share in Malaysia.
well , that is a huge leap in improvement.
try to avoid saying it will cause trouble as , personally thinking, those RnD should be intensive neough to make it good.
with hyundai’s volume , it is no doubt that it is better for them to RnD their gearbox for long term investment.

no you’re the fucking disgrace you proton salesman
whatever it is… PROTON is still a PROTON….. no one can deny the fact…. hahahahaha………. I din support proton or support proton here…… Juz a simple quote ….
wow, they’re catching up with the japs!
but have to prove the reliability first.
Who disgrace or not, no need to use that hard word. We will see who’s the winner afer this economic strom is over.
Good job to the Koreans
as i mentioned many times, what R&D proton comes out with all the fund get from the G (tax payer)? after 20 years. The management never have the business mind, but benefits under the control-policy market rather then a open market that encourage competitive. Now goes back to the same model of OEM from Mitsubishi. I heard some P-insider telling me that all the so call R&D leads (probably from some univ professors) only target to get the $$ from G to spend, rather than comes out a product that really can sell for the country (Potong). That is why after 20 years, we still produce low-tech car with high price.
