Issues with 5th/6th gear (and 1st/2nd)

So now 6th gear is shifting perfectly smooth?

I did some linkage fitment. I drove Very little since then but I noticed that 6th is a little harder to shift (stuttering) but so far it did not fail to shift at all. I would say it’s a little bit better but then again, I did not drive much.

If changing those parts fix this completely then I will be at the dealer the next day demanding this repair

Completely fine. Clear difference to previous which I had suffered ~20,000km or so.
I drove ~40km trip to test it and not single time had any issue with it. Previously it was notchy at times - or should I say, most of the time.

Moi :D
Which dealership did you go to? Last time I went for yearly inspection and told them to check it, they couldn’t recreate the issue. And sometimes I’ve succeeded to recreate this standstill when car’s power is off xD Unfortunate. I don’t know if I’m tripping or not but I think that 1->2 feels notchy on occasions too.. 2k€ price tag, that’s mad :eek:
 
1st to 2nd still gives me problems at times as well. I've long accepted this now as a "feature" of the car.

I couldn’t rely on my 5 to 6 shift to happen. No pattern at it, sometimes it went on and then it didn’t. I had to re-do the shift at times. While driving of course.
 
Did they finally, after 4 years or so of production, satisfactorily end this 5th to 6th manual gear issue, or like other brands, simply address as an 'as is' basis, reasoning the R&D to solve it not worth the $$$ compared to the amount of people who raise it as an issue?
 
Did 2020 or 2021 prefacelift models still have this issue with gearbox? I comming from Megane mk3 RS with faulty gearbox and the last thing will be buying another car with gear change problems.
 
MY20 here.

Still sticky between 1st/2nd & 3rd/2nd. Better than it was. Just accept it as a "feature" now.
 
Been having problems with my 5th and 6th gear. Finally decided to take car to hyundai to get sorted . Showed them the tsb notice about the problem . They looked into it, and said my car falls under the vin numbers . Only problem is the tsb notice has now been discontinued and no longer valid. Lucky they will honour my fix .

Getting the 5th and 6th cog changed and rings . 3 week wait for parts .
Update on my car . Car was in for week , got phone call to say Car was ready . Picked it up and noticed unusual sound for inside Car. Put clutch down and nose disappears . So I told garage about noise . They have taken it back in and can't find where noise coming from 🤬.
Car been in for another week. I've kicked off at hyundai customer services and they have given me a hire car .
Not impressed with hyundai at all .
Hopefully gets sorted soon .

UK Hyundai dealers are truly shite. When I worked as a mechanic repaired cars were always road tested before handover to the customer. And if anything was wrong it was fixed beforehand. Does no one give a toss anymore? Pride in workmanship is non existent nowadays. Especially main stealers.
