2010 Hyundai Elantra with Steering Wheel Vibration Sign In

I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra blue with man trans which I bought new, and it has a significant vibration in the steering wheel when cruising above 50mph. It will put my hands to sleep after about 1/2 hour of driving. I had all tires/wheels force balanced - but no change. Funny thing is that, when I'm cruising and I push in the clutch and coast - the vibration goes away. I have an identical 2010 Hyundai Elantra GLS with auto trans - no vibration. However, dealer says there is no problem. Whatcha think?

If the problem goes away when the clutch is depressed, that points directly to a transmission problem.

Ditto with HT. 2010! You must still have a warranty and make them fix it or have a tech go for a ride or drive it with you to indicate NOT NORMAL which it isn't,

Thanks you for the replies - but can you lead me along on how the vibration going away when the clutch is depressed means it's a trans problem? If I'm coasting with clutch depressed and trans in gear, the trans is still turning, just the engine isn't connected - right?

When you depress the clutch, you have disengaged the input power to the transmission.
