I bought the car and looked at the vehicle repair records and the clutch had been replaced about 12000 miles ago and I can push the clutch in and it is slipping horrible, I can push the clutch all the way down and it will slip and grind every gear as if I'm trying to shift without the clutch. I even stopped downshifting because it wouldn't go into gear without horribly grinding! I get so worried about it sometimes, that I almost wreck trying to keep my car in gear without breaking the trans, it is like learning how to drive a manual car again and I have driven one for a long time now.

Approximately one month after purchasing this car new (and less than 1000 miles on odometer), I started experiencing slipping in the clutch with severe lack of acceleration. The dealer replaced the clutch and flywheel under warranty, and state at that time that the had already performed similar repairs on that make/model. Now in august, 2012, (65,000 miles) the car has had a similar problem requiring replacement of the clutch and flywheel. Extreme lack of acceleration had made the car unsafe on a city street, let alone on a freeway. The mechanic has stated that he has never seen a flywheel scorched this badly. I have been driving standard transmission cars for 30 years, and have never had a transmission problem.

After I shifted from 1st to 2nd gear, I tried to accelerate but the clutch slipped. When I completely took my foot off the accelerator I felt and heard a mild clunk as it was finally engaged. The rpms were at about 2000 and I was only traveling 5 MPH when this first occurred. I continued to shift through the gears with the same symptoms. Once engaged after a while, in each gear, I pressed down on the accelerator pedal approximately halfway to see what it would do. The rpms shot up and no power got to the wheels. The clutch slipped immediately. I could not maintain speed going up some hills without the clutch slipping. I am looking in my rear view mirror to make sure I don't get hit from behind. This happens every day but not consistently. I have to shift at a maximum 2,500 RPM for it to not slip. I don't believe the vehicle could maintain any speed above 50 MPH without the clutch slipping. There is a progressive groaning since this first started. I can feel it in the pedals and steering wheel as well. Nothing is dragging and the fluid level is at manufacturer's recommendations. I have been driving manual transmissions for over 26 years, imports and domestic. I never had a clutch fail before 150,000 miles. There are three ways to avoid an accident; hit the brakes to avoid, steer to avoid, and accelerate to avoid. I have lost 33% of my capability to avoid an accident due to pre-mature failure of the clutch. The owner's manual states "ideally, corners should always be taken with gentle acceleration." this is currently impossible because the clutch slips when I try to drive that way, on both left and right hand turns.

I have a 2006 hyundai, tiburon gt with the 2.7 litre v-6 and 5 speed manual transmission. I have had a recent problem with the clutch slipping. I have looked on line and read about the problems with this issue. Before I bought the car (new in 2006) I read about the clutch issues on line and thought that with the class action lawsuit settled, that the issue was resolved from the earlier model years. When you get some rpms on the vehicle (about 4000), and just before you up-shift the clutch starts slipping. The car has also started grabbing and slipping from a standstill. I guess I have been lucky, I have been driving mine since may of 2006 with very little to complain about.

1. The 2006 hyundai tiburon se that I am the original owner of has been driven almost daily to and from work. I was driving the vehicle today and the clutch starting slipping, I did not drive any differently than I do normally. 2. I had the clutch for the first time ever start slipping today. I was driving up a slight hill and gave the car gas and it started revving up but not actually accelerating. I immediately let off the gas pedal and the rpms came down and reengaged the motor when the transmission should be. This was non-normal operation for the car and I was concerned that if I were to disengage the clutch that I would not be able to engage the clutch and drive the car home. 3.I have taken no action to rectify the problem but was directed to this site from http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65973 http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64779 and have been informed that my 2006 hyundai tiburon se may potentially have a clutch problem and has only been a lawsuit filed on the 2003 and 2004 tiburons with the six speed transmission.

I just recently purchased my vehicle. I'm in the military so I put a lot of miles on it driving home all the time. After a month and a half and 5000 miles roughly, my clutch started slipping and then gave out. It was sudden and complete. The tech's at the dealership I took it to stated that my clutch had been severely fried like I was racing it. Fortunately they didn't remove my warranty but they did charge me $900 for it.

Car started to have a clutch pedal problem around 5000 miles, so I took it to the dealer and they said it was normal nothing to worry about. Then at about 10,000 miles the clutch began slipping so I took it once again to the dealer. They said "yep the clutch is pretty worn out it should be replaced but we aren't sure if it will be covered under warranty" so they told me I need to authorize the payment for the clutch repair which was $1100. Well I am a college student and working to own this car and I didn't have the money to authorize that so I pursued the consumer affairs department and after a bout a month driving the car with the slipping clutch. I got approval to have the clutch inspected at no charge by the dealer they then told me that the clutch is so worn that I looks like it was severely abused and therefore not warrantable and it even seemed as though you were racing your vehicle so we has permanently removed the warranty on this vehicle. So as of today 11/6/06 the car is still at the dealership waiting.
