Hyundai Dct Reliability Reddit

Clutches in a DCT are not like replacing the clutch in a regular manual. Hyundai doesn't even consider them a wear item, when they go they replace the transmission for big money. In other applications, they are still much more expensive and much more labor intensive to replace than a standard manual trans clutch.

I'm shopping for a new Santa Fe right now. Is it reasonable to assume they made improvements to the transmission in the new year's model that lessen the chances of issues emerging? There are no real substantive differences between the 2024s and 2025s but I'm definitely seeing steeper discounts on the 2024s. But wondering if it's worth paying a bit more for peace of mind on the DCT issues.

Like ours! We have also owned multiple manual transmission cars. If you think that the DCT transmission is bad. don't drive a CVT transmission car (subaru,honda).

At least you can tell that the DCT is shifting! The CVT is like driving a sewing machine, no shifting is ever noticeable and you wind the thing up like a rubber band. The wet dual clutch transmission on those vehicles are relatively new, so no real information bad or good about reliability at >100,000 miles. Anyone have good or bad anecdotes? (can't believe someone at HQ decided that adding a DCT to a car meant for Costco-school runs and trips to the Grand Canyon was a good idea).

I think DCT problems are exclusively DCT problems. That is, whenever I hear DCT, no matter what brand, all I hear about are reliability issues. Like Ford's famous crunching noise when shifting 1.

Please chime in with your experience of 1st gen Veloster N DCT. Please comment on reliability and miles logged on 2021 or 2022 VN w DCT?! Thanks. Turbo and DCT reliability Some say turbos are expensive to repair and not reliable, same for the dct transmission.

I know the n line has a turbo and dct. What are your thoughts on turbos and the dct transmission in terms of reliability and repairs? Last month, I purchased a 2021 Hyundai Sonata N-Line.

I have absolutely loved the car. However, the one thing that has irked me since I started noticing it is that the DCT seems to be finnicky at low speeds, particularly when decelerating. The DCT seems quite jerky when "downshifting" and.

The reliability of Hyundai dual clutch transmissions varies depending on the specific model year, driving habits, and maintenance practices. Most recent Hyundai models equipped with DCTs, such as the Elantra, Veloster, and Kona, have shown significant improvements in reliability, thanks to Hyundai's dedicated updates and engineering efforts. Hey, so some Hyundai and Kia models with the 7-speed dry DCT have been on my radar.

However it seems like every time I look something up, the stories sound like the Ford Powershift - juddering, uneasiness, failures, little support from Hyundai/Kia. What's your actual story with it?
