Hyundai IX35 Premium 2WD CRDI - Hyundai IX35 Notchy Gear Change - richard price

I have owned from new June 2011 and have done 16000 miles. The gear change from 1st to 2nd in particular is very notchy more so when cold, to me it spoils an otherwise good vehicle. I have left the issue running for the 16000 miles giving it a chance to wear/bed in but there has ben no noticable difference. It went to the dealership recently for them to have a look, they agreed it was notchy and the remedy was to grease something, that was 2 weeks ago and the problem is still there, they have been advised.

Does any body out there have the same vehicle with or without the problem I am experiencing. Comments very welcome.

Couple of reports of 1st/2nd gear poblems in HJ's review (Whats Bad - http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/hyundai/ix35-2009/?section=bad ).

On the Hyundai Owners Club there are a couple of topics posted re clutch/gearbox issues (2 out of 48 topics), but neither are specifically to do with 1st/2nd gear engagement.
