Hey there fellow! Been with my 2024 i20n for few months now and i have notice that sometimes , no matter how the car is (cold or
Hot) it get a weird resistance coming out of first gear. It feels like a slight “gate” id say when i try to shift out of first gear and into 2nd gear. The gate feeling usually feel like i have it entering every gear but only first gear is the one i get this gate intermittnly when trying to get out of the gear and into another gear. If i try to
Shift over 3000 i usually dont get the sensation but bellow 2500(granny shifting i noticed it happen a lot
More.
Does anyone had encounters these “gates” at the engagement of gears and when leaving first gear? The one that got me worried a tiny bit more is that i get that trying to leave first gear some times😅 would love for some knowledge about it 🙏👑
Id add that there are no grinding noises and just the usual gear shift noises
