Types of Hyundai automatic transmission shift knobs
Hyundai automatic transmission shift knobs may vary depending on the model and year of manufacture of the vehicle. Here are some common types:
* Traditional Shift Knob: This is the most common type of shift knob used in Hyundai automatic transmissions. It is a lever that can be moved forward, backward, left and right to select a gear.
* Push-button shift knob: Some Hyundai models use a push-button shift knob. Instead of a lever, it has a series of buttons that you press to select a gear.
*Rotary knob: The rotary shift knob is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to select gear. It is similar to the volume control button on an audio system.
Gear shift lever location
The Hyundai automatic transmission shift knob is usually located on the center console of the car. It may be located closer to the driver or passenger seat, depending on the model.
