Hi guys, i have a 2010 2.0l 5 speed manual Koup and am having issues when changing into second gear, quite often its stiff or very clunky, My Kia Dealer says its normal but i dont think so. Does anyone else have the same issue and is there a fix for it.

I really hate it when they say "It's normal". If it was normal, all manual transmissions would do it. It sounds like a synchro issue. Do you have the option of going to another Kia dealer?
Unfortunately not , not many Kia dealerships in new Zealand but I'll keep pushing my dealer
