Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Lift or jack stands, socket set, transmission fluid pump, OBD-II scanner.
Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and safely supported.

2. Fluid Change

Sub-steps:
1. Drain the Transmission Fluid:
  - Locate the transmission drain plug and remove it using a socket wrench.
  - Allow the fluid to completely drain into a pan.
2. Replace the Transmission Filter:
  - Remove the transmission pan (if applicable) by loosening the bolts.
  - Replace the old filter with a new one, making sure to align it properly.
3. Reinstall the Transmission Pan:
  - Clean the mating surfaces and apply a new gasket or sealant as required.
  - Torque the pan bolts to the manufacturer’s specification (typically 10-15 ft-lbs).
4. Refill with New Transmission Fluid:
  - Use the recommended transmission fluid type for the Genesis G70 (often Hyundai ATF SP-IV).
  - Reinsert the dipstick and add fluid through the dipstick tube until it reaches the full mark.

3. Inspect and Repair Transmission Components

Sub-steps:
1. Inspect the Torque Converter:
  - Remove the torque converter if necessary and check for any signs of wear or damage.
  - Replace the torque converter if it fails to engage properly.
2. Check for Internal Damage:
  - If slipping persists, consider disassembling the transmission to inspect clutches and bands for wear.
  - Replace any worn components as needed.
