Description of the problem	Approximately around 18,500 miles on my purchase-new 2006 hyundai tiburon se, i began to notice some clutch slippage when accelerating from a stand-still. Weeks later i had taken my car to the local dealership i purchased the car from to get the oil changed, and a routine inspection. At this time they found a small leak in the transmission, so they put some dye in it and asked me to come back a week later so they can track where it was. A week later i brought my car back and they said they wanted to replace the entire transmission, under warranty. I gave them the okay to do this. During the replacement process the clutch and flywheel was found to have 'hotspots' on it and was recommended to be replaced. I was already aware of possible clutch problems with the car before i purchased it, and was informed by the salesmen that they don't think there will be a problem and i would be taken care of. Regardless i was weary because of the many problems described on an online tiburon enthusiast message board (www. Newtiburon. Com). In which it is suspected poor design of the hydraulic system including but not limited to the slave cylinder valve spring to be the cause of these common, premature clutch failures. Due to costs of the replacement parts, and limited time to take further action, i authorized the dealership to replace the clutch and pressure plate only, leaving the current flywheel in the car. This only cost me about $375, since the transmission was already being replaced that dramatically reduced the labor costs. Regardless it is still money i had to spend on a part that should not have to be replaced after only 18,500 miles on the car. I can only guess as to if this problem will crop up again, some 15,000+ miles down the road. Now at about 20,500 miles i have not had any problems yet, but the day is not over.
