Description of the problem	I drive a 2005 hyundai tiburon v6 with a 6 speed manual transmission. After less than 25k miles my clutch started acting up by not disengaging the engine when pressing the clutch down. This happened suddenly one day when i was at a light and when it turned green i put it into first and the car lunged forward and stalled. I took it to the dealer and they told me that i needed a complete new clutch and the plate was completely worn (which it is still not worn and i now have 73k on it because i use it for a delivery car.) however, the clutch pedal is still a growing problem. As i let out the clutch in any gear it is not a smooth engagement, but a very harsh and abrupt engagement causing the car to leap at any gear with the petal almost fully to the floor. I have been pulled over 2 times at a stop light for "unnecessary acceleration" because i barked 1st gear. Each time i was able to get out of it by letting the officer test drive the car in the parking lot. Also for the past 20k miles i have had trouble changing gears, it has been random but has been happening more frequently, when ever i would change gears while moving with clutch fully pressed the gears have ground and i sometimes can not get the car into any gear unless i match the rpms to the correct speed for the gear. I might as well be driving with out a clutch. The worst problem: when the jumpy clutch and the non-disengagement combine in stop and go traffic or in reverse. The car will lunge forward when i only intend it to go about a foot and i have to slam the brakes on to fight the car from pulling forward with the clutch pressed down as i ripped the gear out of first... Which takes a modest amount of strength. This car is not safe to drive but i have to for work. I am an easy driver on the car too, 73k miles and there is no clutch slip. *jb
