2000-2001 ACCENT 1.5L AND 1.6L MANUAL TRANSAXLE SHIFT FEEL IMPROVEMENT - SERVICE KIT PARTS AND ASSEMBLY
PROCEDURE
This Technical Service Bulletin supersedes 01-40-001.
This bulletin clarifies the purpose of the dual cone synchronizer currently installed in 1.5L and 1.6L Accent manual transaxles, and provides information
about installation of a dual cone synchronizer kit for previous production vehicles. Service kit parts information and the assembly procedure for the
double cone synchronizer are included.
DESCRIPTION:
Effective January 29, 2001 production, a dual cone synchronizer assembly has been installed in 1.5L and 1.6L Accent manual transaxles. The purpose of
the dual cone synchronizer is to lower the shift feel effort between 1st and 2nd gear as a result of increased synchronization capacity and to increase 1st
and 2nd synchronizer durability.
NOTE:
Installation of the dual cone synchronizer kit on vehicles manufactured prior to 01/29/01 can only improve a gear "clash" condition between 1st and
2nd gear. Installation of this kit will not change the normal shift "feel" of the Accent manual transaxle.
