The 20012 hyundai accent dose not have a dip stick!
Open the hood,open air filter lip,screw 3 bolt ,take out whole air filter kit,you would find one hex nut,screw it,you can add transmission fluid
in it.
If you look at the transmission fluid listing for your vehicle in Advance Auto Parts they list the quantity of Transmission Fluid for your vehicle if you scroll down the page showing the Oil. It takes about 4.2 quarts for a service change and 6.4 quarts for a total fill. And it is supposed to by done every 15K miles/10 months to avoid shifting problems.
You can also get the filter transmission filter and gasket kit from them for about $16.00 You should change that too. Its not a hard job if you don\'t mind getting under the car and getting dirty. Jack the front wheels up, use axle stands to support the weight, Remove the transmission drain plug, drain the old fluid. Undo the bolts all around the transmission cover (the part having the drain plug in it) and pull off the cover. Undo the two? bolts holding the old filter inside the transmission and remove the old filter. Fit the new filter with its seal. Replace the bolts. Clean off the old transmission cover gasket material from the transmission and the cover. Put the new seal in place. Fit all the bolts around the cover - finger tight. Use a 10mm? socket and a screwdriver type of socket holder to tighten the bolts - do them opposite and evenly. Do NOT tighten too hard - that\'s when the gasket starts squeezing out causing leaks - using the screwdriver handle type of socket holder will prevent you applying as much force as you would using a ratchet or other wrench. Fill carefully a bit at a time - the fill stick is almost impossible to read as fluid gets flung up it when the engine is on. Take it for a short drive and then look to see if you are leaking around the seal. If so you may have a bent cover - replace the cover and get a new seal. Also rechck the fluid level and top up if necessary. Too much or too little fluid causes the transmission to suck air and will cause all sorts of unwanted problems includning bad shifting. Too much - loosen the drain plug and let some fluid dribble out until it is OK again - avoid taking a fluid shower!
You may find that this cures transmission shifting problems. It has for me.
This is just an outline of what to do. Use a Haynes manual and follow the steps. The manuals are nothing like as good as they used to be (actually they are terrible now), but just good enough to be helpful for this task. Good luck!
FYI I'm talking about older Accents - mine's a 1997
Just doing my transmission filter change and there are 4 bolts holding it on, not two as I put earlier All bolts are 10mm BTY.
Changing the filter and fluid did not cure my latest problem - not changing gears properly. Having the back off the throttle to avoid overreving and wait for the gear to hard change going up through the 2 & 3rd gears. Still trying to find the solution. My Accent is too old to make it worth changing out the transmission, but maybe its a sensor problem?

1.
Drive the vehicle until the fluid temperature reaches normal operating the usual temperature [80-90°C (176-194°F)].
2.
Place the vehicle on a level floor.
3.
Move the selector lever sequentially to every position. This will fill the torque converter and hydraulic system with fluid, then place lever in "N" (Neutral) position.
4.
Before removing the dipstick, wipe all contaminate from area around the dipstick. Then take out the dipstick and check the condition of the fluid.
The transaxle should be overhauled under the following conditions.
a.
If there is a "burning" odor.
b.
If the fluid color has become noticeably blacker.
c.
If there is a noticeably excessive amount of metal particles in the fluid.
5.
Check to see if the fluid level is in the "HOT" range on dipstick. If fluid level is low, add automatic transaxle fluid until the level reaches the "HOT" range.
Transaxle fluid: GENUINE HYUNDAI ATF SP-II, DIAMOND ATF SP-II or AUTRAN MMSP-II.
Low fluid level can cause a variety of abnormal conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along with fluid. Air trapped in the hydraulic system forms bubbles which are compressable. Therefore, pressures will be erratic, causing delayed shifting, slipping clutch and brakes, etc.
Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. When the transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with low fluid level, resulting in accelerated deterioration of automatic transaxle fluid.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating, and fluid oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch, and servo operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from the transaxle vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
6.
Be sure to examine the fluid on the dipstick closely.

7 litres.... but keep in mind that's with the torque converter dry. so just keep adding fluid and checking the dipstick level.

This Vechile takes Hyundai ATF SP-II M Transmission fluid, any other type of fluid can cause issues with the trans.
SOURCE: In a 2000 Hyundai accent, clutch fluid = brake fluid
Yes that is correct. it should say what type right on the lid. example dot 3 or dot 4.
SOURCE: Hyundai Accent 2002 My clutch fluid
You have a bad part, the slave, the line, the master, one of them has sprung a leak and must be fixed before you put fluid in and bleed it.
Generally you can find a big stain where the leak is, and on some cars you buy the whole system as a unit, pre-bled.
