Compare Hyundai I10 gearbox repair quotes from specialist garages

Innovation and reliability are at the heart of the Hyundai brand, and the i10 certainly reflects these values. It's a sharply styled subcompact city car that delivers a comfortable and quiet ride with a class-leading infotainment system.

These positive attributes have earned the i10 numerous titles, including 'City Car of the Year' 2023 at the Auto Express New Car Awards, 'Most Highly Rated Car of the Year' at the 2018 Honest John Awards, and 'Best City Car' for the fourth consecutive year at the 2017 WhatCar? Awards. Top speeds typically range from 90 to 110 mph. There are few common problems with the i10, but watch for worn brakes and clutches in used models.

The gearbox's role is to change the speed of a vehicle. Due to the number of moving parts involved, gearbox problems are relatively common. Below are some signs to look out for and potential causes.

If your car slips out of gear, the gears are likely worn down. Low transmission fluid can cause your gearbox to be noisy in neutral, or your car may not go into gear at all. Checking the fluid level is simple, as we explain here.

When you notice your clutch dragging, this often happens when the flywheel and clutch fail to disengage. A burning smell may be due to the transmission fluid overheating. As soon as you notice these symptoms, contact a car gearbox specialist who can offer advice.

Manual gearboxes are usually easier to maintain because they are simpler; an automatic gearbox repair or semi-automatic gearbox repair requires more specialised skills, so it's essential to find the right transmission specialist.
