| Description of the problem | 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. |
