new i30t owner questions

[new130tguy]

Just bought a 2000 i30t with 70km's on it..i have noticed a few items on it that i would like to fix and wondering it anyone else has the same problems. real squeaky drivers window..front end creaking sound when you hammer the gas and turning left from a stand still..shifting seems to jump around more that you would think. love the car,but just want to get to know it better now.

thanks for any input!p.s. anything i should be looking to maintain or watch out for?

Welcome to our little club!

I have a couple answers but I'll wait the day or so it takes for the experts here to chime in.

Welcome to NICO!

A few suggestions for your problems:Window - apply Krylox (spelling?) grease to your side window channels.

Front end - could be a strut bearing or a bad CV causing your sqeeking sound.

Shifting - I have no idea (I drive an autotragic), but I have heard that when some of the guys switched to Red Line MT fluid, the shifts felt much smoother - not as notchy.
