Hey all :)

Poor Blue is having some issues with her gear changes, she's been getting worse and worse and it's at the point where I think I'll have to take her back to Hyundai to be looked at.

The issue is when she's moving up the gears she over revs and then the gear changes and the rev's drop to the point where there is almost no power, one or twice it's been bad enough that she's changed back down the gear to keep going, she's almost stalled changing to 2nd a few time too. Having the Air-con on makes it even worse too. She's also had a few time where she won't go up gears she'll red line if I don't take my foot totally off the accelerator and then but it back on at which point she shutters up the gear. My Mechanic says he can't see anything wrong, the transmission oil is all good etc.

Anyone heard of this happening?? She's a MY11 build.

Take Bluebell to the doctor straight away. She's dangerous for you to drive and could be making things worse for her as well.

:whsaid:  she's got several thousand km's up now,the trans should be silky smooth by now. [10,000km's+] take her to the Hyundai doctors.  :idea:

Thanks guys, I'll book her in for the new year, she just about at 30K, so she's well worn in.

Well Blue went in the the Hyundai service centre near work this week. She had her 30K service done and they found a faulty valve in the transmission, all fixed now, gear changes are nice and smooth :)
