Trying to make 2013 Hyundai Veloster in your words Zippier,
I have had no problems with 6 speed manual. I do need to change clutch, Do I need to pull both axles to do so? Also I have a weird squeaking from left front while driving, brakes are good. Only other problem sometimes with push button start it hesitates slightly before starting, How can I make it a bit faster?
You have to at least drop one axle for sure. Check suspension bushings such as swaybar bushings for wear. Hesistation on start up can be a number of things. How many miles on it?
To make it faster, lot of tuning support available. Do some bolt ons and get a dyno tune. Remember, the more power means more wear and tear.
Just made it to 100,000 miles, I think it may be the button itself cause when its cold sometimes it take a couple of button pushes for it to start, rarely though and only if its negative degrees. If i hold the button down longer or more firm it seems to work better. thanks for responding
