Hi all,

I have an 09 FD SX Petrol Hatch Manual. It has 240ks on the clock.

I’ve noticed in 3rd gear some hesitation from around 2.5k rpm until just past 3k rpm.

I notice on downshifting too that it is jerky. Hard to describe but kind of like the gearbox engaging and disengaging multiple times.

Any ideas on what could cause this?

Wanted to update everyone. I changed over the spark plug leads myself today and it has actually made a huge difference. The leads that were being used were the original hyundai ones, 240ks later!

More good news from a member! Awesome. Who said 2020 was an annus horribilis.  :crazy1:
