01 elantra trans synchros?

No, not at all. In general, you're correct, synchro wear is not a big
issue. It does seem to be with Hyundai transmissions. FWIW, I was also
told this by the guy who rebuilt mine.

 

My mistake Brian - I had lost track of the fact that you were talking
specifically about Hyundai synchros and thought you were talking about
manual tranny's in general.

 

I enjoyed this thread. I haven't shifted a manual transmission, or
double clutched, in many years, if you don't count the paddle on the
Shiftronic on my 07 SF, which I have played with a couple of times just
to see what it did. (Does that count as shifting without using the
clutch?) We used to have manual steering, manual brakes, carburetors,
vacuum operated windshield wipers, etc., but no more. Thank God.

Good lord Ed - you had to go and bring up those cursed vacuum operated
wipers didn't you? There was nothing worse than those things.

 

Frankly, I wish the Elantra had manual rack and pinion steering, as the
over-boosted power steering has very little feel to it. It sucks, IMO.
