    Traded in 2000 Elantra and bought a new 2005 Elantra. Larger tire size
    is better in new one. The 02 trans., had drive, 1, 2, reverse. 05 has
    drive 1,2,3,reverse. They said the transmission has been upgraded
    since 02. Any input?

    It's a completely different transmission. In fact, it's the same
    transmission (less trivial differences such as final drive ratio) as the
    1999 and newer Sonatas. It seems to experience far fewer problems than
    the older transmission, of which I have a relatively low opinion.

    I have a 2003 Elantra with 20K on it and it is smooth!

    But I think Hyundaitech will agree with me that it is
    important to flush the tranny at the recommended intervals
    in my case 30K miles.

    I'd recommend a flush or drain and fill every 30k. Most of the trannies
    I've seen have rather ugly looking fluid by then.
