My 01 Tiburon used to do that. I could push the clutch in, and it wouldn't go into reverse. I would have to fully let out on the clutch and push it back in again, and then it would go into reverse just fine.

<sigh> I wish my SE was a 5 speed. The way this automatic can't decide if it wants to be in 3rd or 4th is really starting to try my patience. I've begun to really give the OD button a workout lately.

So yeah, my vote would be manual transmission, all the way.

Its called double clutching... Reverse is probably not a synchronized gear. People used to have to do that with every shift before they started putting synchros in manual transmissions.

Get a car with CVT tranny. All auto-tranny-hunting for a gear comes to an end.

I've had auto transmission cars before this, including a 2002 Focus that had about the same HP as this car, but the Accent seems to "hunt" worse than any other car I've had.
