At 22,000 miles the clutch went out, had a clutch master aluminum flywheel clutch put in and it last 1000 miles, both clutches shattered; Hyundai wanted $2400 to repair. I now have a steel flywheel and it appears to be working fine. Hyundai claims the clutch is not part of the drive train (huh). I am 67 years old so I don't hot rod it.
Why is the car not under warranty?
The clutch is part of the drive train.
When I bought car, I asked about the timing belt, transmission and clutch, and the sales manager said all under warranty.
Lots of problems with clutches on Tiburons.
Hyundais are crap. I owned a Tiburon a while ago and was very unsatisfied. On all levels. Go American made.
I own a 2005 Tiburon with 70,000 miles on it and the clutch has never been a problem. I suspect the reviewer may not know how to properly drive a manual transmission equipped car.
A driver who constantly rides the clutch cannot blame the manufacturer for poor driving habits.
I've had my 2006 Tiburon since it was new.. no clutch problems whatsoever. I agree with who says the reviewer doesn't know how to drive a manual..
