Just the pan usually . How do you know which solenoid ? There are five of them inside . Normally when one goes out it sets a check engine light an a DTC - diagnostic trouble code .

    I'm not sure, when I took it and had a computer hooked up to it, it was giving them three different codes...the check engine light has been on since I've had the vehicle...I'll try to take it somewhere to have them run a diagnostic test on it again, I can't remember the codes that it was giving them...also, it is an automatic, with a slap shift also, could that have anything to do with it not wanting to shift...when it gets stuck in the third gear, I'll only be able to drive it at about forty-forty-five miles, and that's just keeping the rpm's under 4000...

    No ,the slap shift has nothing to do with it ,There should be a P0700 something code ,This code will be for the shift solenoid that's bad .

2002 Hyundai Santa Fe won't shift out of park
If holding the brake on does not release the shift interlock,you may have a bad brake switch or shift interlock solenoid.If you can get access to the shift solenoid (usually at the base of the shifter) you can just tie it in the off position if needed.

My wheels are locked on my 2001 Hyundai santa fe?
If you mean the steering wheel is locked, the solenoid that disengaged the lock ring under your steering wheel may be bad. Take it in since there's an airbag in there and some cars have very specific de-energize procedures for them. If you mean the whole vehicle won't go back or forth, you could have low transmission fluid, a bad transmission pump or a bad shift solenoid in the transmission.

I own a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and my transmission is stuck in manual mode it won't go past number one I can't get it back over into automatic mode and I want to know what might be the problem
The big question here is how did it work before it got stuck the transmission I mean .
Did it shift OK before it got stuck if no you have a big problem with your trany .
If it worked good then look at the key switch it locks the shift lever so you can't shift it with your foot on the brake or any linkages connecting to this system its all on the steering collum or a linkage to the transmission

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 Diesel, transmission went into neutral while driving.
Check transmission fluid level if low on fluid it will suck air and transmission forward clutch can not apply. If fluid is full and clean looking RED in color shift control solenoids are the problem and internal. BROWN and BLACK fluid indicates the forward clutch was slipping and now has no holding power for movement. this case the transmission needs reconditioning.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2005 won't shift into first gear
Most likely the o-ring seal between the torque converter and the transmission is going bad. Get that transmission rebuilt pronto before serious damage is done! But first, have a mechanic drop the transmission pan and look for signs of a very thin silvery film coating the inside of the pan. If found, then the transmission definitely will have to be rebuilt, and the torque converter will also have to be replaced since embedded metallic particles in the old torque converter will eventually come loose, due to wear of the clutch plates within the torque converter, and eat up the rebuilt transmission. Now, here is the deal once the transmission has been rebuilt:

Change the transmission fluid and filter once a year -- no matter what! If you do this, then you should never have any more problems with the transmission.

Manual transmission at times has trouble shifting
2003 hyundai, should only have hyundai approved fluids in both the cooling system and transmission. If you take your vehicle to a transmission shop other that hyundai let them now there is a special fluid that goes back into the either radiator or transmission. Regular transmission fluids viscosity is to thick and will make shifting very hard. My Mazda has the same issues Wrong fluids go back into the transmission when I have had work done to it making the shifter hard to shift in cold weather. A Worn clutch can have the same effect.
