Gearbox Gearbox & Clutch Discussion

There are guys in Germany ( in FB you can find them under name N400 project) who installed that kit and they gave me also feedback about issues. They are working together with full support of Xtreme factory and replace some parts for upgrades to improve final product.

Respectfully disagree. If they’re going to claim the car can be tracked, they should’ve tested it as such to find deficiencies. The VT1 gearbox rarely has any noise issues and some have used it to do many HPDEs & weekly autocross events during the warm months, whilst still commuting daily.

Yes, I already knew his engine is producing more power, due to several mods and a remap. Doesn’t change my opinion one iota. By the way, it’s Nm.

Hi chaps,

On a hill-start this morning when I balanced the clutch it made a rattling noise and could feel it through the pedal before it bit. On the way home tonight, same thing happened again. Both times were fairly steel hills.

Is this the sign of the clutch on the way out?

Cheers

What's your mileage? Did any track days etc? From what u described sounds like it's slipping.
 
4k, no track days, pretty smooth driver. Never destroyed a clutch before! Is that what it would feel like if it was slipping?
 
Really strange... Im on 11k kms atm and even did some city driving as it is and i havent got this issue. I wouldnt be able to say, if it's slipping for sure though. Just that's the first thing that came to my mind.

It is not a sound of slipping clutch, it seems to be more like 2-mass flywheel. Slipping clutch does not make any noise, you will just see that rpms are rising but car does not move. Do you have some rattle also if you are under load with 2nd gear and same time you are releasing throttle peddal you will also push down clutch peddal? Another thing might be that maybe you have cold temp outside and your tyres does not have good grip. In this moment eLSD can also make noise what is similar to rattling noise.

Mine does this. It makes a weird noise too, seems to be the hill assist disengaging. I posted about it somewhere, I’ll see if I can find it.

It's not a spring noise, it's actually more grinding. It sounds like when you dump into gear without using the clutch properly.

I've got a video of the noise, need to edit it and get it up.
 
Yep, I think the flywheel and clutch have a problem. At least we have a 5 year warranty!

No launch control, no tuning kit, totally stock. Don't drive like a maniac.

Hyundai will try and make you foot the bill because it's a "wearable part". Do not allow them to get away with it. There's a clear number of people who are having premature clutch failures and Hyundai have all told them they need to pay. Just be ready to contact an ombudsman if they threaten you with the bill.

And bear in mind the Ombudsman’s process can take 8 months :eek:

(Different story will be a post one day soon another day)
 
I have problem with flywheel and release bearing and I have seen lots of posts in FB groups about clutch issues. Because I have been working in Audi 8-years, I know that it is very complicated to get clutch components replaced under warranty. They all are telling you that filters (Dpf, Gpf ect...), brake components, clutch... are wearable parts what does not go under warranty. 2-years ago I had an experience with Dpf filter of my A6. Dealer told me that my Dpf was faulty and it should have been replaced but not under warranty. So I took my car away from dealers workshop, gave it to my friend who returned my car after 1,5-hours with working Dpf. The only thing he has done was cheating sensors to get CEL shutting off and after that he made forced burning procedure. So my "faulty" Dpf has been working 2-years without any problems now.
But regarding our Hyundais - in my oppinion it is easier to just go for strong aftermarket clutch than just waist time for replacing weak parts again and again and fight with your dealer.
I will personaly ask them to replace faulty gearbox synchroniser under warranty and will pay them for replacing whole clutch (Xtreme Clutch) same time they are fixing my gearbox.
