Answer
It's doubtful the problem is in your transmission control module (TCM).  Hyundai computers have proven to be quite reliable.  

It's possible the repair will be simple or complicated.  To help determine the issue, I'll need you to have your engine and transmission diagnostic trouble codes read.  AutoZone and AAMCO have advertised they'll do this for free.  I'll be interested in the code numbers themselves, not the definitions provided by the code reader or the operator.
