2010 Elantra Blue, notchy 2nd gear?
 
Hi. I bought a 2010 Elantra Blue in November. It has 1200 miles on it now, but as early as the 2nd week or so I became aware that there is occasionally resistance shifting into 2nd gear despite the clutch being fully depressed. It can also make a slight "crunching" noise after passing through the neutral position and fully into 2nd (though this sound is distinct from grinding, it's not the same as if you were grinding the gears). I've tried a million times to narrow down the cause (i.e. cold weather, low RPM shifting, high RPM shifting, slow shifting, fast shifting, gentle shifting, strong shifting) but every time I think I got it, and have corrected it, it happens again anyways.

It's simply an annoyance because I'm perfectly happy with the car in every other aspect, other than this seemingly delinquent 2nd gear. Anyone else experienced this?

Yes
 
So i have this problem with my 2010 Elantra as well. However my car is an automatic and it sounds like yours is a stick. Did you end up taking it in or finding out what was going on with it?

In my case, it was one of those issues that resolved itself during the "break in" process. I don't have the problem anymore. Disappeared somewhere between 1000 miles and 10,000 miles.

It might be more relevant with an Automatic Transmission though, you should definitely raise your concerns if it's bothering you. It's a nice car. :)
