Lift the vehicle on the ramp. Unscrew the oil cap located on the gearbox sump and let it drain into a suitable container.

Add the flushing additive and, using the appropriate equipment, carry out a thorough complete wash and then let it drain. Suck out all the remaining fluid in the gearbox for perfect cleaning.

Screw the oil cap back onto the sump, replacing the gasket, lower the vehicle to the ground, and top up with the correct amount of the appropriate oil. Conduct a road test with the vehicle to check the proper functioning of gear engagement.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
