OPERATING THE MANUAL
TRANSAXLE
HFC3029
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has
a conventional shift pattern. This shift
pattern is imprinted on the shift knob.
The transaxle is fully synchronized in
all forward gears so shifting to either a
higher or a lower gear is easily accom-
plished.
NOTE:
o To shift into reverse, rest the le-
ver in neutral for at least 3 sec-
onds after your car is completely
stopped. Then move the lever
into the reverse position.
o During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transaxle lu-
bricant has warmed up. This is
normal and not harmful to the
transaxle.
o If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in
N(Neutral) position and release
the clutch. Press the clutch pedal
back down, and then shift into
1st or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as this
can result in premature wear of
the transaxle shift forks.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
!
CAUTION:
When downshifting from fifth gear
to fourth gear, caution should be
taken not to inadvertently press the
gear shift lever sideways in such a
manner that second gear is en-
gaged. Such a drastic downshift
may cause the engine speed to in-
crease to the point that the tachom-
eter will enter the red zone. Such
over-revving of
the engine may
possibly cause engine damage.
