Gearbox Gearbox & Clutch Discussion

[rickon]

My experience with my Hyundai garage has been really positive, they've never batted an eyelid at helping me out, and never once spoken about charging me to look at things.

Compared to my BMW garage, who would charge £180 to look at anything, and then nothing was covered under warranty. Same with my Peugoet dealer for my van, £150 to look at anything.

4k miles cannot be argued wear and tear. Yes its a part that suffers wear, but it is not reasonable to wear out after 4000 miles. That's like buying a pair of shoes and the soles wear through in a month, yes they'll eventually wear through - they're shoes, but it's unreasonable to expect they'll only last a month.

Hyundai have warranty on clutch components 10000km

Nobody knows but release bearing is one of weakest parts of clutch. I have done 3 track days, car has 6700km mileage now and my clutch release bearing makes bad noise.
Clutch itself is working ok even with 490Nm I have on my N.
I am personaly waiting upgrade clutch coming to the market.

What upgrades have you done to get that torque ???

If you will read thru my car topic (sorry, it is pretty long), you will get answers

hmm odd, 32000 km on mine now, and plenty of aggressive driving and no clutch issue. But yeh 4000 miles they will replace it under warranty.

Well, I feel stupid but also confused at the same time! Went out for a test drive with the mechanic, and it's just the ABS valves releasing.

I've never felt that on any other car, but apparently it's totally normal.

Service again was really good.

Don't feel stupid, it's better to be safe than sorry especially with the clutch. I have an answer now too, thank you!

Mine has a sign up behind the service desk showing the diagnostics charge
The warranty booklet is very clear about the cover applicable to the various components.

The chap who came for the test drive told me about the £90 charge, but they were really good and didn't mention it. I think it would apply if they stripped the car down to find nothing wrong, but the 10 minute test drive felt a bit silly to charge for.

I think I actually heard that same rattle this morning. It happened uphill when the brakes were clamped but feels Iike it's from the clutch as they disengage when you work the clutch.

@Maverick this is quite unclear merging a clutch thread together with a gearbox thread. 2 totally different things. Can't you merge the entire forum in 1 thread?

 

[MarkMark]

I have said it before but I will say it again " I love this forum !" No way you can find the info members like koevasi has posted for us from a dealership. You could surf all day on the internet and not find this stuff. Big thanks koevasi

I've just joined and I totally agree with you, fantastic forum

Might have missed it but do we know the final drive ratio?

Refer to attached for both 250N and 275N final drive ratios (and a whole bunch of other stuff already in this thread ).

Thanks for that, do we know how 1st and 2nd and reverse can have a different final drive ratio to 3rd,4th 5th and 6th? Surely the crown wheel and pinion are fixed ratios in all differentials?

My mechanical knowledge is limited however pretty sure that the input shaft is flanked by two lay shafts. The ends of those lay shafts are both connected to the output shaft, each with their own set of gear teeth on that output shaft. So half the gears run off one, the other three off the other. There will be others on this forum that will be able to explain it in more detail and better than I.

I came here to ask a question about a "clunk" noise when going moving stick from Neutral to first.

- In Neutral
- Depress clutch
- As soon as I begin to move gearstick forward and it leaves the neutral position (not in 1st yet, just beginning to head there) there's a "thunk" like a solenoid has been setoff. Very quick. Sounds like its coming from under car, gearbox area.

People have described a similar sound when releasing the clutch in 1st gear, but I think I know that noise, same on my old MX-5 manual. My noise is as soon as I exit the neutral position, like I've setoff a sensor which is engaging something electromechanically.

Is this the same noise or different? Thanks all.
