How to maintain Kia Spectra Auto Transmission.

Salam Spectrans & Newbies,

Why I should have schedules service maintenance on my Auto Gearbox system?

Usually for the past few months Ive been receiving Spectran members feedback regarding faulty auto gearbox.

Most had complaint having 

  • Once engaged to D mode the car takes few second to move forward
  • The gear shift isnt smooth and jerking
  • slipped gear
  • drop gear jerks and stuck in between gears.
  • leakage via the oil sump pan
  • Gear system becomes heavy and stalls when climbing hills.

Out of all the above problems where most spectrans had never even 
  • replaced or flush the gear systems evry 40-50k km
  • replaced ori genuine auto filter
  • used wrong atf fluid transmission
This why wear & tear occurs and it will
  • Creates lots of internal heat thru FRICTION
  • The friction of the fluid will churn inside the torque converter
  • Creates heat frictions between auto clutch plates.
  • Leaks auto oil sump pan gasket seals where atf will sip out
  • Contaminated and sludge oil deposited between gears
  • Clogged auto filter resulting inadequate good clean filters flow
  • Faulty auto switch sensors
  • Faulty auto lever cable assy and crack bush
  • Deposited heavy microns of metal shits affecting the auto systems.
The Solution usually will diagnoss to TRADE in  the auto gear for RECONDS Gearbox.
This practiced should be stopped unless u are 100% sure of the gear faulty.
Take the lowest budget first before installing RECONDS Gearbox.


The first thing to do once u got the gearbox problems.
Used ori genuine ATF fluid SP111 ,dont ever used Dextron 111, or SPIV atf fluid.
Must do every 40-50k km or 2-3years interval to have yr atf fluid always clean
As clean atf ( clear red) will cools down our transmission and avoid heat frictions.
Replace ori genuine Kia motor Auto Filter assy to have beeter clean filtered.
Always service clean auto oil sump pan , magnets , solenoids and valve bodys assy and gasket.

For all Spectrans members who are facing gearbox problems kindly can reach me 013-7849798 or 018 7840701 for more details and service maintenance.
