Just a few pics of my Sonata after a wash.

The OP does not have the Theta 2 Engine. The 2013 Elantra has the 1.8 Nu Engine. Which has nothing to do with the Theta 2 Engine recalls. The 1.8 Nu Engine does have a TSB just in Canada for piston slap. But nothing for the US.

I've had the same sound on my 2013 Elantra since I can remember when cold. But after a few minutes and the engine warms up it goes away and runs quite.

Glad you got it fixed. Brings back memory's when I used to be a Maytag repair man many years ago.

Yes just look at the parts manual. Your model has two phillips screws that hold the front panel one. Once the screws are removed pull the lower portion of the front panel toward you and the top of the front panel should detach from the lid. You should then see the screws on each side of the lid...

Going to need to pull the front cover off first to get to the bolts that hold the lid down. Those c-clips you see are part of the front cover. I can't remember if that model has 2 screws in the front cover toward the bottom?

Thanks guys for the info. I may have to have a shop look into it. PC solenoid is in the side cover. Got to drop the trans in this car to get the side cover off. What funny is it's maybe a 50/50 it will shift fine if I cycle the key. But its been 100% chance if I disconnect the battery it will...

My 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora has the 4T80E trans has been having a weird shifting issue. It's been having shifting issues now that the temps in my area have been above 100 degrees. What's been going on is when its cold or the temps are below 100 outside it shifts just fine. Above 100 degrees, it's...
