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

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
That issue only really affected cars made before 2018, it's more likely to be an adjusment problem with the gear change cables. I've done a complete How To in the How to section

Hey Guys,

So i am getting a little bit worried after reading this post. I have just bought a 2019 N with only 20k on the clock. Now i am having a little bit of an issue with 5th and 6th but more so with 6th. You can feel sometimes that when going into 5th it has a bit of a pop to go in and when it comes to 6th it can be like that or not go in completely and when you lift the clutch it then pops in gear. Am i having this same horrible issue that most of you are having and need to have my gearbox fixed?

You may have to live with the problem . I had mine fixed with hyundai last year April 2022. I'm sure hyundai have spotted doing repair now .
It was a lot of hassle, 2 different garages to fix problem .
Ended up with new clutch , re con gear box and new fly wheel .
6 weeks in garage with no urgency in repairing it .
I'd live with it I was you .
 
Not necessarily. First step is to adjust the cables, second is to make sure that you fully depress the clutch pedal. More miles also help, mine got better as the miles clocked up.

A bit un related to actually getting the car in gear I noticed other day going into gear 6 around 50 miles an hour or 2000 to 3000 rpm if I have my foot down on the accelerator the rpm spikes in response to accelerator then drops for a sec before returning to normal it's really bizarre the car seems to still be accelerating at same time just notice that rpm, turbo psi, and torque all dip for a second
It's strange but only happens in 6th gear too anyone else experienced something similar?
 
Question my vin number is

TMAHC51ALJJ002253

January 2018. Does this mean that I am ok or not. Seams that is order to qualify you need to be in the AAKJ range of the vin.

Can someone assist?

Thanks I have these and hence the question as mine in a Jan 2018 built car but the starting vin has different letters. I'm wanting because it's an Australian car, it doesn't have the same issues. I was hoping someone who understands better then me would reply and confirm or otherwise.

If you're car isn't in affected vin range, and you're not having gear change problems, I'd say you've got nothing to worry about.

Sorty i was meaning more, I wandered if the Australian cars, had the same issues are ROW cars.

Mine seams notchy 5 and 6 and only done 40000kms and about to run out of factory warranty, hence the questions.

So assuming as my vin starts with ALJJ and not AALJ as per the TPI, there is no issues?

Adjust the gear change cables as per my how-to in the relevant forum first.
