Thanks for the link, but that appears to be mostly specific to 5th and 6th gear. Which appears to be fine on mine!

Yep - but it’s a problem applicable to other gears, it’s just been a more common problem from 5th to 6th.
I'll let Hyundai know that it's an issue other owners are having then, I'd imagine it'd be less likely they tell me there's nothing wrong with it then.
They should know about it as it's got a technical bulletin out on all cars (that's in the thread somewhere) to replace the synchro for 5th and 6th if a customer lets them know of the issue. Mine does this between 5th and 6th, and 2nd and 3rd (very occasionally other gear changes), I have to be a bit more assertive when putting it into gear!
It should not work like this but it is just the result of not best engineering by Hyundai. I have the same problem between 5th and 6th gears and also changing down from 3rd to 2nd on race track. There is a TSB out like Emma wrote, so report it to your dealer and they must fix it. I managed to find out that there will be no problems at all if you will learn how you need to act during fast downshifts. After that I had no problems at all with downshifting on race track. In my oppinion the gear linkage needs some upgrade and it might be that first available aftermarket short shifter will ellminate that problem too.
Upshifting from 5th to 6th gear it is the same thing - you need to make it in 2 steps and not fast. Because 6-th gear is located not in most comfortable position to shift (it is located the most far from you), you must be sure that gear lever will move straight (not under small angle, what feels the most comfortable).

No-no, it works perfect but... gear linkage needs some improvement. They tried to make it as short and sharp as possible but the result is not perfect and there is no room for mistakes during fast changes.
Probably but I feel that Hyundai does not have problem with shifting issues caused by wobbling linkage. What I have noticed so far, it is like opposite way - for having successful gear changes, you should move stick precisely and there is no tolerance for making small mistakes.
Of course, in a RHD car like the OP's, 6th is the closest gear
A quick update for you all. I couldn't replicate the issue with a mechanic in the passenger seat (it's always the way).
He said with any other model, they'd take the car in and inspect the box and replace the synchros. However, if there is no gearbox "fault" logged on the car they won't do anything with the N model. As if there is an issue with the N box; they'll likely replace the whole box.
In short, if I get the issue again I'm to go there asap so the fault is logged and they can read it..

No it's not even in yet, waiting for the call, when they get the replacement parts i will take it in.
ahh ok, i should be picking mine up on saturday. will report on the resultsNo it's not even in yet, waiting for the call, when they get the replacement parts i will take it in.
I really hate that bullshit "if there is no error code we won't fix it" excuse.
I mean, as if bad synchros are going to throw any codes. What they basically want you to do is put up with the car until they fail then they will make you foot the bill due to it being a 'wearable part'.
So just to get everything correct: The TSB basically says every car could end up having this problem?
Cause my VIN ends with 9894 and I had it since delivery. Only got 900km on the clock so I'll wait till first service, maybe it'll solve itself

Like speedking said it wont, i had it since i remember and hoped it would go away on it's own, at first i didnt pay much attention to it and just brushed it off, maybe i didnt shift the same intensity or whatever, but now i have 11k kms on the clock and it's still there, from 4th to 5th and from 5th to 6th. Ofcourse it's only occasionaly, but i noticed most of the time it's when i shift on low revs. 2-3k revs shift. Anyway im bringing it in in 2 days to the dealer they have the parts ready and i'll get a replacement car in the mean time. Estimated time is 2 days for the swap.So just to get everything correct: The TSB basically says every car could end up having this problem?
