Hi all, first time poster and couldn't find my exact scenario already posted. I have a 2.0L 2018 Forte Automatic with 93k km on it. It was purchased second-hand in 2018 from a dealer with 41k km on it. (red flag, I know but it hasn't had any issues in 4 years). I recently just replaced it's...

Hoping to get some information on transmission swap options. I'm planning on doing an engine rebuild either this summer or next. While the engine is out it would be nice to swap to a 6spd manual from my 5spd manual. Things I know: 2010 2.0L's = 5spd, 2010 2.4L = 6spd 2010 - 2013 SX/2.4L's had...

I own a 2022 Forte XLS with the IVT (CVT) transmission. Looking at Consumer Reports and online sites I see a lot of info describing early transmission failures in the 2019 models. Has Kia fixed this issue? If so, what did they do? I'm hoping to keep my car 10 years without a breakdown. Thanks...

Just finished installing a short shifter for my Koup. It makes a huge difference! Most of the play has been removed and the travel has been cut in about half. It also removes the hugeeee travel from 4th to 5th and 5th to 6th. I did take photos during the uninstallation However not so much during...

Hi! This may be a dumb question but I've never changed transmission fluid, my plan is to just drain the fluid into a oil pan that has measurements on the side and refill the exact amount through the dipstick. Fairly confident I can do it but I do not know where the drain plug is 🤦 I tried to...

Hey There, Noobie Here! I recently purchased a 2011 Kia Forte Koup SX 2.4L 6-Spd 274,000Km. I took it to a mechanic before purchase and he green lit it as a good deal for its condition. I bought it as a beater to put a little less wear on my financed vehicle since I've been driving a lot...

Hey guys so I have a 2011 sx every now and then when I get on the freeway my car will suddenly lose power, I’m not sure if it’s a piston misfiring. I’ll turn my abs off and when I get to about 4-5000 Rpms my car with start to sputter it’s like if I ripped the e-brake for a split second. I don’t...

This started a while ago but has gotten way worse in the last month or so. When it first happened, I was driving and the car would jerk when shifting (it is an automatic fyi). Usually when I would park it overnight and drive it the next day it was fine. I eventually realized it would only...

I have a 2010 Automatic Kia Forte Koup 179K Miles. For the pass 2 years my car has slowly gotten worse and I am afraid i put this on hold for too long. Typically if I am at a complete stop at a stop sign or red light or even slowing down at a yield sign, my car tends to jerk. After coming to a...

I need to change the transmission filter. Can't find anything online to direct me on how this done. Has anyone done this ? Please help!
