Kia Soul automatic transmission replacement

[@TheCurlyGirlys]

Started out watching videos on how to clean the engine on my 2014 Kia Soul and ended up here. This is way over my head, but I watched the whole video. Thanks and it was very informative and entertaining. Edutaining!

[@russhfilms682]

I watched it too all the way thru

[@twestcase]

Thanks. Getting a transmission on my 2016 Soul right now. This video convinced me that my guy is earning every penny.

In September of 23 while looking to get info on what to do with my 2015 Forte Transmission, I came upon your video. I wish I could come to your shop for servicing my Kia. You have "passion" for your job. And my Kia Forte (with 360,000 miles on it) could benefit from your expertise. By the way, no one has ever seen a car like mine. Pristine condition and still in great shape. Someone said I may need a new transmission, but I´m not sure.

If you see a big jump in your watch hours, its me lol! I've been watching this on repeat while removing my transmission from my 2011 soul! I bet I've re watched this 10+ times since I started the removal... I'll be watching it on repeat again tomorrow as well! lol!! thanks for the video! It has helped tremendously!

[@RustBeltAuto]

Should be good for about 1.2 cents of ad revenue. Thanks!

[@adamjayandtheuglycrew3079]

@@RustBeltAuto well that’s disappointing 😂 I thought I was helping more than that. But we’ll get you another 1.2 cents tomorrow! lol!! Thanks again for the video, like I say it has been a big help! And you gained me as a subscriber!

I use Coca-Cola on the battery terminals before a cleaning. Amazing results And to think I drank Coca-Cola engine cleaner for 40 years. I stopped I use it as a cleaner like acid Good video

[@luiscasul4235]

Now I'm motivated to do it too! I'll begin Monday coming up! 🦾

[@texasdoug1273]

Great job. Clever use of your homemade tools.....you make it look easy .

[@MilkyWayMelon]

Good job men you got the job done right plus I like the way your gloves. Are never get dirty

[@donaldpainter628]

I keep 2 pieces of rubber hose to extend the transmission lines so cleaning them are easier and that cleaner from Napa is the best then blow it out with air it's perfectly clean

Good acting in that shampoo commercial.

[@angelzucchet8543]

Excelent video thank you mi friend. 😀

[@RustBeltAuto]

I'm glad it helped you.

[@roberts1159]

Don’t own a Kia Soul luckily but watched this video ! Great work as usual. Like the creative use of your jacks and crutch. How many miles on this car ?

[@RustBeltAuto]

157k miles.

[@benjaminalvares1151]

Great job man

[@diegodelpino9301]

(min 17:30) My torque converter doesnt turn, (the oil pump gear is tight) the problem is the oil pump or the torque converter?

[@RustBeltAuto]

The torque converter seperates from the transmission.

[@diegodelpino9301]

@@RustBeltAuto but is normal that the oil pump gear (in the transmission) doesnt turn?

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@diegodelpino9301 I don't think so. The converter should turn.

[@Splashfun2000]

so all the symptoms and everything point to a bad torque converter on this 2011 Kia Sorento (see previous comment), I'm tearing it down now but wondering, is there anything I should replace while it's out, new pump maybe ? Symptoms are low power and slow/poor acceleration, will not shift in automatic mode but will shift in manual mode. Fuel pressure, compression, everything else checks out okay, not getting any noise out of transmission and fluid looks decent, pretty much have narrowed it down to torque converter.

[@RustBeltAuto]

I have no answers, and would suspect something else. Don't know what either.

[@d00biesnacks]

I’m watching this because my girlfriends Kia soul 2010 is slipping or dropping a gear continuously only when you reach speeds of about 75-80, but only when you hit those speeds does it slip for lower gears as well. Odd to me, planning on getting a back up trans just to be on the safe side. No idea maintenance history, 101k miles, do you think it’s bad idea if I drain and replace the fluid with these symptoms? Thank you for the informative video, will use it as reference if it ever comes down to that.

[@RustBeltAuto]

Changing fluid usually doesnt do anything, or makes it worse.

[@GregoryBirulkin]

Good job!! 👍

[@governorrifleman22]

Hey man I gotta serious question bc I got myself into a pickle literately I have a 2018 Kia Soul supercharge and I believe I’ve blown my gears 1-3rd and was wanna know if you could help me in any way

[@RustBeltAuto]

Sounds like you need a transmission.

[@jdwithheld8915]

Big question ! My 2013 Soul has no A/T dip stick. Is it possible to convert back to dip sticks like the earlier ones. I removed the fill plug, but there’s an internal baffle. 6 speed auto w/active eco shit?

[@RustBeltAuto]

I don't know.

[@TheRealCeeJai]

Hey boss, great video. I have a couple questions: first, about how long do you think this job took total? Secondly, I was told by someone at a transmission shop near me they wouldn't put a used transmission in my car because he's seen far too many go bad and then have to charge them again to take it out. How likely and/or common is this situation? I have a 2011 Kia Soul and found a used transmission with less mileage than my vehicle for a good price, but now I'm scared to go forward with it hearing that. (The shop guaranteed the parts for 90 days and said it came from the same exact model and year of Soul.)

[@RustBeltAuto]

Lkq has an excellent replacement warranty if you are worried about such a thing on a used transmission.

[@jorgeantoniour3688]

Hi there, I have a 2010 Kia soul 2.0 which it doesn't go above 30 mph and it doesn't want to go in reverse. I've checked air, fuel system. It seems ok. I don't have an engine light on. Do u know the symptoms of a bad torque converter?

[@RustBeltAuto]

Torque converters have a stator in them with a one way bearing. Either it works, or it doesn't. There also may be a clutch in there, but those don't need to work. The converter will stall, but still function at a higher rpm if it's not working.

[@brandonlong5828]

Rust Belt Auto: I recently bought an 03 Pilot with 198k miles. It strikes me as being well maintained (no proof/m.log). Current liquids all seem fresh in the motor. Even current trans has a decent red color (slightly darkened). What would your opinion be on replacing the trans fluid? I've heard don't change it if you don't know. Would you agree? Thank you if you find the time. Your opinion is appreciated.

[@RustBeltAuto]

You just remove the drain plug, and do a dump, and fill on those. It's usually like 4 quarts. Some people do it a second time after driving it a while. Wouldn't hurt to do a dump, and fill. Only use original Honda fluid on that. If it's burnt, I don't replace it.

[@robgibson8640]

Whats the reason for removing the engine mount?

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@robgibson8640 I forgot.

[@robgibson8640]

@@RustBeltAuto I looked back and it looks like you left the engine side mount and just supported right side of engine so I'll go for that. Thanks!

[@shobud7561]

The Blue seal goes on the driver side of the transaxle !

[@RustBeltAuto]

Okay? The guy is driving the thing, and it is not leaking, so I have no idea what I did.

[@Mrneal1027]

I appreciate it

[@hetewart1341]

Can I be really annoying.. and ask if you have the P/n for the transmission you used? I think oem p/n is: 4500023470RCA but don't know what part you used. Also, could you confirm that this is the same process and transmission for VIN: KNDJT2A2XB7710444.

[@RustBeltAuto]

I just looked the thing up on car-part.com, and got a used one. It might ask for the 8th VIN or something.

[@Splashfun2000]

I watched this hoping it would be similar to the 2011 Sorento I'm working on (hoping I wouldn't have to take off the subframe) but looks like I am going to have to remove it, good video. How come you used the engine support jig instead of just putting a jack under the engine since it looks like you didn't have to remove the subframe ?

[@RustBeltAuto]

It was easier for me because I had one.

[@GregoryBirulkin]

No neutral drops?

[@RustBeltAuto]

Maybe I should have done some with the old transmission. Reverse still worked.

[@GregoryBirulkin]

@@RustBeltAuto I remember doing neutral drops in a '68 Buick wildcat until I dropped the drive shaft, it was great!

[@wavyhanzo]

How much mileage did this one have?

[@RustBeltAuto]

Can't remember for sure. Think it was about 120k. There was no maintenance done on this car.

[@wavyhanzo]

@@RustBeltAuto ah okay I just bought one with a 143k in Hawaii gotta fix some sensors but it seems pretty solid

[@jdwithheld8915]

10 months ago ( from 8/4/21), you (Rusty) said it had 157k…..

Guess I'll be doing a transmission on a 2010 Kia HOLE

[@RustBeltAuto]

Maybe you should change your name to "HOLE fetish".

[@Geezerelli]

I can’t believe people actually drive cars in that condition like that. Isn’t that an accident guaranteed?

[@RustBeltAuto]

The drivers are the scary part everyone should be worried about. In general. Not the cars.

[@Geezerelli]

@@RustBeltAuto I stand corrected. I felt uncomfortable having drivers tail gating me when I was in the slow lane even when the lanes were clear to my left. I sold a 90 Miata that had only 35,000 miles on it because of the crazy driving here in Kalifornia. I purchased a 2011 Kia Soul with 60,000 on it and the drivers seem to not caboose me quite as much. This is the first time I have sold a vehicle because of the habits of Kalifornia drivers.

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@Geezerelli when you ride motorcycles as much as I have, you learn offensive driving. It is important to always have an out option. You realize nothing is safe.
