  • 7-Speed Dual-Clutch (DCT) Judder and Premature Clutch Failure2017-2020

    Souls with the 1.6L Turbo-GDI and 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission exhibit low-speed clutch judder (a body shake accelerating from a stop, worst on cold/humid mornings), harsh engagement, and hesitation. The dry clutches glaze/wear during stop-and-go creeping. Kia's diagnosis is a creep-driving test: if the body vibrates without steering-wheel shudder, it is clutch judder. TSB TRA083 first applies a TCU anti-judder logic update, then replaces the dual-clutch assembly if hardware is glazed/worn.
