2001 Elantra ... Automatic transmission. For a while now car has been shifting kind of weird. Please see below; 1. Car goes from Neutral to reverse to drive without any issues 2. When driving the car revs at 3000 rpms and hesitates and then it shifts fairly hard, sometimes it doesn't shift at all until you take your foot off the gas and then re-engage the gas pedal. It tends to shift fairly hard, almost with a lurch forward. 3. On one occasions it didn't shift at all, and we drove home in limp mode. 4. Next day it shifted as described in point number 2 and we haven't experienced the non-shifting again. 4. Check engine light is on, but its been on since we owned it... mechaninc said it was nothing to worry about... but I worry there could be a legitimate reason why its on now 5. Symptoms get worse after driven for a bit, especially on hot days Things I have done; *checked ATF level - it seemed to be a little down, so i added a little ATF but it hasn't made a difference. *I noticed the ATF is kind of brown with a reddish tint, however it doesn't smell burnt to me, but it doesn't smell sweet either. I am no expert, but I do like to research, :-). Some of the possibilities that I theorized could be the problem; - Input/ output sensors - ATF needs to be changed - TCU - Transmission is going I realize it needs to be taken to an expert, but I was just curious if you have any ideas. Any advice would be much appreciated. Kind Regards, Jamie
You have a failing transmission, that is abundantly clear.

It's definitely cheaper to buy a trans from a wrecking yard than to have yours rebuilt. Before you do anything though. Did you make sure that the trans fluid level is full? I know this may be a stupid question, but I had to ask. The speed sensors job is to tell the speedometer how fast you're going...not related to your problem.

It seems that the trans is slipping. The smell is from excess trans flood. If Trans is over filled, it can rupture seals and cause leaking that can get on the exhaust and burn.

I'm no expert but it sounds as if you might have some moisture (water) contaminating your tranny fluid. I'd first try having it drained, flushed and refilled with fresh fluid. Preferably after it has been warmed to room temperature - -2 brrr.
