Got my car back today for the 6th gear issue from Melbourne City Hyundai. Overall pretty well pleased, only downside was that it took from 9/11/202 - 4/12/2020, so creeping upto a month., However I did get a 2021 i30 loan car, was neat. The lane assist on the loan car was insane, literally drove it self over the Bolte Bridge, although it does it in a series of like 100 twitches. Had a huge as touchscreen as well.
Got the car back today, no issues on the free way with 6th. The clutch even feels slightly heavier than I previously recall, although it's been about a month and before was lockdown so hardly drove it. But I actually kinda like feels easier to control the 1st to 2nd shift, I hope it stays this way.
Overall good experience, downside was the time taken, but I wasn't anywhere in a hurry so it turned out fine.
P.S On the report is says 5th/6th synchro was worn out. I never had an issue with 5th. Second I brought this car new last September (09/19) and it only has 5K kilometres on it. AND 5th/6th is like the least used gear so I did find it a bit curious they said "worn out". However it felt fine on my first trip home, so I'm not gonna push them on how they got to that conclusion
PS.2 They did call to ask me if it was OK if the techs take it out for a test drive
