I had a similar transmission problem with my 2005 Tucson. I ended up having to have my transmission and rear differential replaced under warranty. If you are still a few months under the 10 year warranty period (2004-2014). I would call the dealership you got it from (if you bought it from one).

I would go with a Factory brand Filter from the manufacturer. If you don’t want to spend that premium, my best advice would be to go with a Purolator brand filter. I’ve tried alot of filter, and I’ve taken alot of filters apart. The Purolator seems to be the best for aftermarket quality; there’s no cardboard inside.

I may be wrong, but the double box end craftsman wrenches you are referring to are the thick brick like ones that have a riveted frame. Craftsman now makes ratcheting combination wrenches that are comparable in design to that of Gearwrench. That said, I own both Craftsman ratcheting wrenches and Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches. I can say that the ratcheting mechanisms are comparable with the Craftsman being ever so slightly smoother; however, the open end wrench on the Craftsman is horrible and might as well just be a handle. The Gearwrench also has a slightly thinner profile which I like. I have each, a flex set and a traditional set; both have their niche uses and get me out of jams. The Gearwrench are slightly cheaper than the Craftsman and I feel the quality is there. Both have lifetime warranties as well. My advice to anyone making the investment: go to the store and look at both for yourself.
As an aside, I also have a set of Craftsman open ended ratcheting wrenches. They are often on sale and they have saved me a lot of time in places where a socket or box end just won’t do.

Glad to hear it was a successful purchase. I’ve been toying with the idea of buying one for sometime, but could never get what I considered an in depth review. Thanks for sharing. I might just go get one.

You can get lightly used Snapon ratchets on ebay for a reasonable price. I buy most of my high end hand tools used. Remember, most of the top brands have lifetime warranties.

Thanks for the reply. Its been a reliable vehicle for me and I plan on driving it until it falls apart. I’ve done a lot of work to it over the years but no front end work until now. I can’t afford factory axles so I’m trying to weigh the options of whether to replace tired stock axles with cheap aftermarket ones. I’m probably going to replace the tie rod ends. The rack is what is making it fail inspections. I actually just rebuilt both front calipers and replaced the pads and rotors.
