Hey @mickd I've noticed the clutch pedal squeaking every time I press it, kinda like it needs some wd40 or something.
What did they say to you about the gearbox @dnalor50

I'm sure the service guys know the gear-change is not as good as it should be, but they stonewall me with " it's operating within specs, sir". The dealership agreed to let me drive a loaner manual, but it's been nearly one year and I'm still waiting. With the prevalence of automatics I think many people have forgotten what a good manual gear change feels like. As I mentioned in another thread it I can only blame myself for not insisting on test driving an SR manual before laying down cash.
Sorry to read no improvement!!Just thought for the gear box this might help, i have some in my Toyota 4x4 truck and it seems to shift smoother than before. i change gear box oil then added some of this, but you would not need to change you GB oil just take filler cap off and squeeze some through the hole, can't hurt.

Mate, I quoted a motoring critic a few pages back, who wrote a positive review. Why don't you contact him, as an owner, and ask him to justify his claims?
Nulon is bloody good Aussie stuff.
Thanks for the suggestion. I might try some Nulon as I'm getting desperate. I won't tell the service guys in case it voids the warranty !
I've actually been keeping my eye on local stocks but haven't seen a manual SR for ages..

Given the shrinking market for manual transmissions I imagine Hyundai are putting all their engineering efforts into technologies like DCTs, hydrids, EVs etc. Perhaps they should stop offering manual gearboxes if they are not going to engineer them properly. With the benefit of hindsight I would have brought a DCT model instead of the slow motion snick box I have now.
There's nothing wrong with my manual box, 1st to 2nd is a little slow but it's still a great box and changes up/down without issues.
if i had an SR and enough time on my hands i could pull gear box 7 work out how to improve the shift just takes time.

... use the "I'm embarrassed to take passengers in my Hyundai because of the poor transmission/ gutless performance"...

I think both @dnalor50 and @Nonamesleft should contact Hyundai Australia and use the "I'm embarrassed to take passengers in my Hyundai because of the poor transmission/ gutless performance". As a representative of Hyundai Australia I would not want to hear that and be keen to rectify the issues.
