Check the fluid level first.
Run car for 15-20 minutes, then check fluid with ingine running in park or neutral. (set parking brake)
You must wipe the stick clean and reinsert it all the way and pull out again to get correct reading.
You will see the marks where the fluid should be. (top dot or line is full when hot)
If low, add the correct fluid. (Parts store will tell you which to use)
If the fluid is full or very near it, check the color. It should look like cherry juice. (transparent pinkish red)
If the fluid is very dark, brown, or even near black, you need a transmission flush.
Should run between $65-$130 at your local oil change place.
This can help if the internals of the transmission are not broken.
I had a 2002 elantra, and the flush fixed my issue.
A friend had the same issue on her 2001 elantra and she needed a rebuild.
Let me know what the end result is.
