    I just test drove a 2009 Sonata SE 4cyl Auto. Noticed a Problem (?)
    with the transmission that concerned me. Up shifts were very firm. No
    slipping or delayed shifting or slamming into gear. Just a very
    noticeable shift between all gears. My other cars are both GM products
    and the transmission shifts are almost unnoticeable, sometimes I have to
    check the tachometer to figure out what gear I am in.

    Is this rough shifting an indication of a transmission problem or just
    the way the transmission is designed?

    TIA,

    Larry

    My GM car had the same problem. Cost about $2300 to have it fixed.

    My Sonata is the V-6 and shifts very smooth. I think it is a different gear
    box than the 4 though.

    Why not go and drive another car with a similar setup? Then'd you
    could tell first hand.

    Sounds normal to me, but JL gives excellent advice.
