Manual Transmission Problems of Hyundai Tiburon - part 2

My transmission reverse gear failed for the second time April of this year. The clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, etc was replaced in may of this year (06). In October of this year I had my transmission replaced (my third!!) for the reverse gear failure. While the service department had the tranny out they discovered that my clutch was shot, as well as the flywheel. This would be the third clutch and flywheel. Thanks goodness the clutch was still under warranty. I have an 86 BMW with 270k miles and it has the same drivetrain!!!.

2004 Hyundai Tiburon clutch and transmission.

I have a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon v6 5-speed. The manual transmission broke at 49,000 miles - not just the clutch, but all the major components of the transmission. This is a very common problem with this model - there has already been a class action law suit involving this model, but earlier years (03-04 - same car as the 06). Hyundai will not fix the problem and has not recalled the vehicles.

I was driving my car on 01-11-06 and noticed that it wasn't catching when I shifted. I had next to no acceleration. On 01-12-06 the problem worsened. I got my car off the road and parked it. I called several Hyundai dealerships and was told that the clutch was going out and that it would not be a warranty fix even with the car only having 18,000 miles on it. I was told that it was because of my driving. I finally found a service manager who was willing to look up the TSB and said that my research was correct but that he could not guarantee me a warranty fix. My car was towed to (on 01-13-06) and is currently sitting at avondale Hyundai waiting to be looked at.

1. Bought a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon v6, 6-spd (manual transmission) -- event: no event. Simply drove the car as normal. 2. Less then 23,000 miles my clutch gave out. 3. I had to replace the clutch assembly, flywheel and throwout bearing. Parts and labor cost me over $1500 in repairs. Less the 23k miles and I had to pay over $1500 for transmission repair. This is a common problem that owners of this year, make and model are experiencing. Yet, Hyundai refuses to do anything about it except force their customers to commit to a very expensive car repair early in the life of the vehicle. No car under normal wear and tear should have as much work done as myself and many others have had to deal with. This needs to be set up as a recall by Hyundai and those of us hammered by this should be reimbursed.

In December 2004 while driving my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon gt, the clutch went out and I was unable to shift properly in traffic, this incident almost cause a multi-car collection. I had to coast to the side of the road and turn off engine, shift into 1st gear then start the car. I called the Hyundai dealership for help and they told me that the clutch warranty ran out at 12000 miles, I couldnt afford to pay their high costs so I bought a new clutch and had it fixed by a mechanic I could afford. It runs the same due to the flywheel and the warranty covers up to 50,000 miles --now the dealership is refusing to fix it because another mechanic worked on it. They knew this at the time I called the first time-----I just read the TSB #0440005 the procedure was not follled by them --it says clearly that the clutch and flywheel are deformed and need to be replace if the customer calls in about a clutch problem like I did --they never did--if they did I would never had got it fixed by another mechanic and bought the same factory clutch again that was deformed they never told me. Help please .

Clutch went out three xs before 40,000 miles. If anyone has the same problems please respond in detail. Thanks.

When shifting, the vehicle did not respond to the gears and the rpm's revved high. Also a burning smell entered the passenger cabin and the driver shut the vehicle off. The consumer was able to restart the vehicle. The cause of the problem had not been determined. The clutch popped and was hard to depress. The rpm's went over 6k and smoke had come from the left side of the engine.

I have a 2003 gt v6 Hyundai Tiburon with 20440 miles on it. The clutch and gear have gone out. The dealer will not replace and wants to charge $1800. 00 for repairs.

On July 04 2003, we purchased a 2003 new Hyundai Tiburon from philpott motors in nederland. The VIN # is kmhhn65f13u099465. It started on Dec 19, 20031 when the passenger window motor had to be replaced under warranty. Then, on Dec. 22, 20031 the vehicle had a coolant leak that was repaired under warranty. On February 16, 2004 the clutch went out all of a sudden with any warning. To April of 2003. In which all the parts they replaced have a production date of April 2003. In August of 2004 seven months later the clutch went out again on ih10 during noon traffic they would not cover it. The mechanic at transmission exchange told him that was not the case and that he stated that the slave cylinder was probably bent prior to their repairs six months ago. My complaint to philpott that if they agreed to cover the slave cylinder why would they not cover all the charges due to the fact this is a pull/push and if the salve cylinder was bent that it would cause this type of damage to the clutch. They refused to cover it costing $1,920. 85. On September 16, 2005 the battery went out. . In August of 2005 the battery went out again. On the last week of August my daughter brought the vehicle to be serviced and asked why the air bag light was on and the technician told her the car was fine that he did not note any problems and that the light was on because it was telling her that everything was working. On September 05, the clutch started slipping again and we have parked the vehicle. Everyone has been told the exact line. It was the driver and it's a wear and tear item. Like the dealers have been told what update: the Hyundai rep stated that there was not any abnormal wear on my clutch that the flywheel was the problem and that we would have to pay to have it fixed because, the flywheel is not covered under the warranty.

Faulty clutch resulting in unsafe operating conditions.
