On intial start up, the transmission knocks and won't shift properly. I have stopped the vehicle when it was warm, turned off the engine and restated the vehicle, and then the transmission shifted ok. What is the route cause of this issue?

  You may have a shift solenoid problem, but I'd think the Malfunction Indicator Light would be illuminated if that were so. I assume you've checked the fluid and all was normal. I think you need to see a Hyundai or transmission specialist.
