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

Always waiting too, 7 months now... it's just a shame !!
The parts is available in other countries but hyundai France refuse to order it because it's not the official "way"... and of course, if i ordered it and give it to them, no more warranty....
In which country do you live?
I know N drivers here in Germany who are waiting for the repairig of the transmission 10-12 Months....Its really horrible.
 
Tommorrow i will egt my N back from the Dealer....after 6 months with a complet new transmission. I went to a laywer and i put them to the court. This is the only reason because they spent me the new complet transmission.

Well done to force Hyundai to replace the gearbox. No way is a gearbox worth that amount of money, it's a rip off price.

How many time does it take between you take a laywer and Hyundai decide to change the transmission ? Does it cost a lot for you?
 
After more than 8 months of immobilization, I was finally able to recover my vehicle... during all this time, no communication from Hyundai, no loaner vehicle and no commercial gesture...

The last service note was applied: the 5 and 6 pinions as well as the synchro ring were changed.

It was the first, and I hope, the last problem with this car beacuse HYUNDAI after-sales service is truly catastrophic.
 
2025 EN MT, this fix from klingon also fixed my gear lockout issue when trying to downshift from 3rd to 2nd while under heavy load, ~1 lateral G.

I have the same issue, but only if the gearbox is cold. If i drive 20 minutes, the issue is gone.
 
How cold? Worth a gearbox oil change first I'd suggest. Here's what I use , motul gear power LV 70W API/GL4
The king of gear linkage adjustment. I don’t suppose you fancy trying you wizardry, for cash to fix my occasional 5 to 6 gear shift? 😅

Mine only happens when driving hard and changing high up the revs into 6th. If I’m just pottering around town at normal levels it’s completely fine! All other gear changes are smooth like butter.

I had the gearbox oil changed out back in June for Redline MT-LV. It feels better but still sometimes I have to really force it or pull back to the middle and shift up again to get it to go in.

After read all comments on the 36 pages of this thread it seems everyone else issues comes from low/slow gear changes? Is this the norm?
