That is really a success story,where should I start(mine is still ongoing)it's in since Monday,whell had it briefly on Tuesday,but on that later when I got the car back.I really must be one of the unlucky one.😔

 

Yes, I did think I would have to pay as it was clutch related.

 

What year is your car @kenp1 ?

 

It's late 2018, with about 25,000 miles.

 

Wow thats not good with just 25k

 

Update
I got the car back after ups and downs,DCT clutch replaced under warranty,judder in the morning and in 2nd and 4th.I got it briefly on Tuesday evening but it end up being recover by the dealer as an issue came up

(bad earth point from corrosion on the earth strip , the earth from wiring loom wasn’t contacting correctly to the gearbox).

But all in all the dealer deal with it in the matter or urgency and priority,courtesy car being dropped off at my home the following evening as I'm 2 miles away from dealer.Now the car drives like new.

 

That's good news. Makes sense that it was 2nd and 4th as the one clutch controis R, 2, 4 and 6, the other clutch controls the other gears.

 

My gearbox was also replaced recently. What has happened now is that the automatic transmission uses a lot of intermediate throttle during gear changes. Is that normal?

 

my sportage is with a dealer at present, seem to have the same issue. no R,2,4,6. not even fully sure what is being replaced but being told everyday that they are waiting on a part to arrive. 3 weeks without a vehicle at present and not looking like i will get it back this side of christmas. no idea where the part is coming from, they are not able to contact them to find out if the part is on its way either.

 

I have exactly the same issue. It started with unable to get reverse gear, almost immediately after a reset of EML by RAC I couldn't get R, 2nd, 4th or 6th. Been with dealer 17 days, after chasing multiple times, chased again yesterday to be told they've had authority from Kia to replace DCT clutch pack & flywheel ??. Wasn't aware that automatic had a flywheel aa such. Anyway here's hoping I get the car back soon. It's already been with them 6 months earlier where they had to replace turbo & DPF (or whatever the equivalent is on the Kia Sportage 1.6 crdi MHEV GT Line S). Car was with them for 4 weeks. No great service !! Either that or Kia"s breakdown quite often given backlog.

 

When you research the DCT or DSG gearbox you will find that it is a very complicated piece of engineering and from that perspective far more likely to have a fault develop. on the other hand, from a driving perspective it is 'night and day' compared with a conventional torque converter automatic. I believe that the servicing is far more important and changing the oil and filter in the gearbox needs to be done more often. just my opinion.

 

They also need to readjust the actuator by the new cluch pack,if they don't,the actuator will fail. Happened to me 2 weeks along after new cluch was fitted,All good after that but now after 30,000 miles the morning judder start to come back.Also a god youtube video what you can do to reset a bit the values and the biting point of the clutches is here,it works.DCT only.

 

Kia Dealership is doing the work so I'd hope thar they will do all the necessary adjustments needed. I'll be putting my kia in part ex for a new Jaecoo 7 PHEV. Can't wait to get shot of the Kia, as it hasn't been that reliable to be honest.

 

Just a follow up on the solution to my loss of reverse and unable to get 2nd, 4th & 6th gear. All is now well. Replaced dual mass flywheel & DCT cl

 

Replace Dual Mass Flywheel & DCT clutch pack. Re-adjusted actuator for replacement clutch pack. All is now well driving & changing gear perfectly. Cost of repair £2300. All done under the Kia Warranty. Thank you shout out to Gravells Kia Bridgend.

 

Thanks so much for posting your faults this helps us all get these horrid gearbox issues sorted. Mine has done 30k miles and a 2019 model Sportage with the dct. What dealers did you all use? I am going to one in Watford Citygate. Hoping they will assist. I am having to pay for a loan vehicle but if the car is in the garage for that long will they cover the loan car cost as part of warranty?

 

My Kia Sportage 1.6 gts line petrol 2018 has just stopped going into reverse, 2nd, 4th and 6th gear. It's 3 months out of warranty and they're saying it's going to cost £4650 to replace the clutch pack and actuator!
50k miles and full service history, absolutely gutted!

 

That is insane do you have legal protection on your home or car insurance might be worth seeing if you can put in a claim at small claims court as it’s so close to end of warranty. This is also a known fault of these transmissions so you may stand a decent chance of getting money back problem is you need a car to work/live. Madness I’m sorry. Mine is out of warranty in 8 months and they are booking it in for actuator but going to push for clutch pack replacement as I know that’s going to go next. If they won’t I’m going to get rid of the Kia once the repair is sorted. I can’t afford a clutch on it at 30k miles

 

So the price has doubled since jun 11,post 16,maybe shop around/indy etc,could plead with kia for a contribution maybe,still not nice though

 

Yeah, I spoke with a friend who mentioned asking for a goodwill warranty repair, where I would just pay for the labour, going to try that! 🤞🏻
