Nope! You have to take 1/2 the engine apart to reach 1 of the spark plugs. Designed by an Idiot….

Scott L thanks man, I really appreciate it

Well I'm really hoping that I can do some new projects in 2021

You know that burping farting issue suggests that the transmission has only a case pressure vent instead of a standard free airflow vent. No other vehicle I've ever worked on has done this.

A bit late but IT DEFINITELY takes a 15/16 open ended wrench. 23 won’t fit.

The reason I began an aggressive fluid change procedure was because there was something odd with the transmission which later turned out to be the torque converter.

Chingadera

05 is a different car

@@themarginalmechanic5928 I've really look and couldn't find it anywhere

@@themarginalmechanic5928 cant find one

@@breakOtime same here ,cant find anything on 2005 model didhe do it in this video? cant seem to see it

@@johnsmith-cv1lp I figured out that the 2005 kia sedona is the same. Kia just put the drain plug right above that same bar in the video, so it's a little hard to see it, but it's there. It seems Kia moved that particular bar a few inches over in the 2007 model. But the transmission service is the same.

@@breakOtime ok cheers

I can't remember off the top of my head but that sounds about right. Whatever I say in the video

Yeah it's been fine and yes I recommend the fluid.

Removing the transmission and disassembling it is not a maintenance procedure.

@@themarginalmechanic5928 No, it is not. And it is not easy. But if you have a dark ATF (for example after a second hand buy), the "half-change" you are talking about, will not help. The filter you have to change too. And it is inside. But I do agree, better to service the car intime, it means every 40 000 km, 60 000 km as maximum.

My 2006 Kia Sedona has 215,000 miles and runs like a champ. Just changed the fluid for only the third time in it's life. I probably should have changed it more often. I simply to a drain and fill. What is the value of changing the filter? I mean really 215,000 miles and the transmission shifts smoothly. You go ahead and change that transmission filter. I'll just keep draining and filling about every 75,000 and drive it until it drops dead. So far since owning the vehicle (and I bought it with 18,000 miles on it), I've done brakes, tires, oil changes, serpentine belts and a power steering pump and that's it. BTW, the power steering pump is a real bugger to replace. There's a bolt on the back of the pump that is pretty impossible to get to. Darn pump took me 5 hours to do and most of it was trying to get the rear bolt off. As far as the filter, "don't worry, be happy."

No clue

Scott L so just that one bolt

Yes, filled correctly and Fluid was certified SPIII for Hyundai/Kia. Did another drain and fill today and found chucks of black metal shavings at the plug. Van was still slipping intermittently in first gear and finally decided to give the Lucas stop slip a try. Added two bottles; fluid at correct level and 1st gear does not slip anymore unless on a slip hill. Reverse still takes a while to engage and slips, however. It's better than a few days ago. Highway driving is fantastic with firm kickdown and no slippage. I still feel bad because the Van was running superbly with the old/unchanged fluid at 120K. I guess the myth is true for "DO NOT change the transmission oil in an old car that's been neglected. Will keep you posted.

If the trans is going to go, it's going to go. Most trans fail because of heat, mechanical issues, and/or lack of maintenance. Adding new fluid will not help a bad trans, nor for the most part can the correct spec fluid be blamed for trans failure. Had a used 1992 Buick Park Avenue. I removed the trans pan to discover a broken thrust washer. New fluid would not have helped or cured the problem. If you had large chunks of metal on the magnetic plug the fluid did not cause that. Correlation does not imply causation. Similar to one saying synthetic oil causes leaks. The oil didn't cause the leak, it revealed what was already there. I have a used 2003 Toyota Matrix with 83k miles on it. Changed the trans fluid with Castrol Import MV which is specd for T-IV and it runs flawlessly.

@@stam9241 I have an 08 sedonda with 120k and was wondering if 120 is miles or kms??? Did you tow a lot? I'm thinking I will leave it...

Kia does a very good job of making sure all connectors under the hood of the vehicle have unique shapes and pinouts so that they can't be connected to the wrong location. I don't think there's any way I could help you man sorry

@@themarginalmechanic5928 i appreciate the reply. He actually spliced wires and ran new ones so the plug has 1 new connectors inside the housing ran with 6 inches of new wire connected to a blob of the original wiring harness. So it's all plugged in the correct ports but I don't know if he mixed up the pins.

One last question is valvoline decent transmission oil for this

This Kia Sedona have a metal screen as a filter inside the transmission. You would have to disassemble the transmission to get to it. That metal screen is suppose to be good for the life of the car.

what filter? it Trans isnt it?

@@johnsmith-cv1lp all transmissions have a filter that must be replaced, you can drain the old fluid and put new, but if you do not change the filter in the future the changes will kick you

when you make the change at 60 thousand miles you must do both drain the old fluid and change the filter

The change of the fluid at 30 o 60 miles depende of the brand m.autozone.com/drivetrain/transmission-filter-a-t/kia/sedona

@@kmilbabiel3340 where is the filter? ive heard u have to dismantle Trans to fit filter? omg
