Description of the problem	Hyundai sonata, 5 speed, 2005, 4 cylinder, 47,500 miles, approximately 4 years old. There was a lot of play in the clutch, but it still engaged. Once engaged however, the vehicle was slow to build up speed. Took it to key hyundai, the dealer where it was purchased. Was immediately told that their 5 year, 60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty would not be in effect because this was due to normal wear-and-tear. They never dropped the transmission to look at the internals. They gave me the choice of $1,100 for repairs, and $2,500 if a new flywheel was needed. Since it wasn't covered by a warranty, i took it to my mechanic. He dropped the transmission and noted that the flywheel came loose from the shaft it was attached to and caused wear to the clutch assembly housing. The flywheel and other parts would have to be replaced. The flywheel alone will cost $1050, and the entire job about $2300. No after market flywheels are available for this vehicle. Hyundai should have honored their warranty. I spoke with several people at key hyundai plus hyundai usa customer service. Key said that it was not going to be warranted and customer service would only refer me back to the dealership. No one could give me information about an average life for the clutch.
