Kia sephia
If you're finding it difficult to service/repair your car, get one of those online manuals. You'll not have to wait for others to answer, or rely on mechanics and all. Plus i know a website that sells very cheap but very very good manuals online, without expiry

SOURCE: Transmission fluid capacity for 2000 Kia Sephia?

The four speed automatic shows a total fill (that is all the fluid it can hold) is 5.7 Quarts. So if you just dropped the pan and relplaced the filter, you shouldnt need more than 4 quarts and likely you would have a little extra with that.

SOURCE: 2000 kia sephia clutch

this is a big job for someone who is not mechanically inclined but....here it goes go buy a new clutch new tranny fluid and a haynes manual at the auto parts store your going to have to drain and drop your tranny ... BUY THE CLUTCH WITH THE TOOL theres an alignment tool needed to align the plates n bearings start by pulling off both tires, brakes and both cv axels be sure to remove the intermediate shaft from the tranny on the passenger side (should come out with the axel passenger side only) so do yourself a favor and buy an impact gun with at least 500 ft lbs torque youll need it also have handy your 14mm 17mm and 19mm impact sockets and remember this job usually runs around 1,200 bucks at firestone also DO NOT remove the bolt in the middle of the front springs under the hood just the four around it and the will pop out no prob and wont need to be clamped remove the starter behind your engine its under the oil filter also if your new to this sorta thing its gonna take you about 3 days to do it buy the impact gun if ur in a hurry look at a pawn shop have your flywheel machined its going to be accessible and it needs it hope this helps dont forget the book which you should already have bought anyway its good for your torque specs which you will also need a torque wrench for the clutch also dont crack open ur tranny this isnt a honda

SOURCE: kia sephia 2000 (manual) Oxygen sensor P0133

The Oxygen probe is located in the exhaust manifold or front exhaust pipe it takes a 22mm wrench to loosen it and at first you need to dismantle the battery to avoid electric hazard, then the cable to the probe so it does not have any connection with the vehicle, clips and holders, after that turn the probe anticlockwise to dismantle it, and reversed operations when fitting the new one, and that should fix you problem.
The only thing that can be a problem is if the probe is rusted together to the manifold, that requires professional help.

2000 Kia Sephia engine runs fine, but does not move in drive, low or reverse

Never heard of a transmission control reset, but after much research, I found they can be reset by removing both battery terminals, then touching both terminals together for 5 to 10 seconds, then seperate and reattach the terminals to battery. Evidently the transmission control has an internal memory. Try that first, then i sould suspect transmission control module. the control module controls every aspect of transmission shifting. Hope that helps!

2001 Kia Sephia automatic trans seems to be stuck in second gear, when manually shifted into first, starts off perfectly fine. When in drive, very sluggish on the take-off and does not shift out of the...

Alot of people have the same problem, including me. Changing the transmission fluid is not going to help this problem. THe transmission filter is not something you change as much as you clean and reinstall, its just a metal screen. Call Kia and ask for an "OVERDRIVE SHIFT SOLENOID" they will need the last 8 digits of your VIN, vehicle identification number, to locate your part. I am in the process of changing mine. The part number should be something like 46313-39051. That number is for a 2001 Kia Optima, with the 4 cylinder. There are three shift solenoids bolted to the bottom of your transmission should. I'll let you know what the difficulty level when I am finished.

I have a 2000 Kia Sephia with an automatic transmission. It starts and runs fine, but all of a sudden, it won't shift into any gear. It won't make a noticeable sound or action while shifting from...

all of a sudden- lkike your driving down the road and it stops working? or your stuck at home? so what I gather is you have a good running car that wont move.... a couple of things to check.. look under the hood at your transmission... there is a link from your shifter to the tranny. have someone else move the lever from frive to low gear to park etc.. then you look under the hood and make sure the cable is still attatched to the trans. if it is attatched and not moving you might have a freyed cable... if none of this is working you prob. need a new tranny
hope this helps

I want ask there is OD light all time turn on in automatic gear, whats the problem?

Look somewhere on/near your gear selector for a button that says something like "OD" or "Performance/Economy" etc... push it and see if the light goes out.

Also, when driving, make sure you're using the gear selection closest to "N". If it's a D with a circle around it, use that.

The other option is that the OD light is indicating a problem with your transmission.

Our 1998 kia sophia wont shift in gear any gear.over the winter the shifter woulndt move so i forced it to move ,now it only goes in reverse,drive can you pleace help me out

sounds like the shift cables are corroded or seized, forcing the shift may have bent the linkage. inspect and replace the shift cables and inspect the cable bracket, bend back into shape if required :)

Have a 2000 Sephia....grandson drove it..parked it in driveway....put in it park and now it won't come out of park.

Seems the shift interlock solenoid may have no voltage to it when you apply the brake or it may have gone bad .I would check voltage first it gets voltage from the brake switch when you apply the brakes.You can manually shift it by removing that little plastic cover next to the shifter and inserting a screwdriver into the hole as you push down on the shift interlock shift the gear shifter.
