2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring, Customer states first gear wont engage 

Thank you so much. We own two of the 2011 Accents 1.6L engine (original owner) with the manual transmission and both have nearly 175K miles on them both. Recently only one has experienced this problem you describe in the video but it is fixed now thanks to your video. Having bought both vehicles new and within a month apart from each other, I'll share the mechanical history of both for you and your viewers. One of them had the hood release cable stretch to the point that it wouldn't function and while the car was still under warranty, the dealership said it wasn't covered and wanted $600 to repair. I refused to allow them to repair it and as a result, I lost all confidence for Hyundai and their factory warranty. As a result, my next new vehicle was a Toyota and I bought an extended warranty. To fix the hood release issue, I bought a $1 dog leash from Dollar Tree and connected it under the hood to the hood release and ran it out the fender by the driver side B-post and in the car door. We have had the purge valve go bad on one of the cars causing hard starts only after filling up the tank with gas but once pressure build up after starting the vehicle and racing the RPM near 3K for 5 seconds it seemed to run fine until the next fill-up. I bought a replacement purge valve on Amazon and fixed it myself. It was easy to do in with the 1.6L because there is lots of room in the engine bay. Other than those, we have just had the normal wear and tear problems with the miles like brakes, fuel pump, starter. I have pushed every timing belt change to 75K miles even though I know it is risky and if it broke on me it would trash the engine. While both are listed as a 2011 model, they were both built in 2010 and therefore they do not have hydraulic lifters, they are manually adjusted but I have NEVER adjusted them. Only one time did I start to hear noise from them but that was after a 4 hour nonstop drive on the highway at 75 mph which is over 3K RPM in that 1.6L with the 5-speed manual transmission. I changed the oil and the noise went away. Now we always keep them under 3K RPM (60 MPH) even on the highway.

Thank you for this video, as this is exactly the problem I was having and it's now fixed. It was only an issue in below freezing temperatures and it shifted fine in warmer weather, and there was no gear grinding, so I figured there might be an adjustment. I found that I didn't need to remove the lower console; removing just the shift knob and upper console provided enough access to make the repair. You can grab the clip with needle-nose pliers and use a finger on the other hand to pull the locking end back to remove it. It's a little tight in there to make the linkage adjustment, but it's doable. Mine was set about as loose as it could go, so I only moved it about halfway. When it gets really cold again, I'll find out if that was enough and if not, it's just a 15-minute repair now that I know how to do it.
