| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 hyundai, tiburon gt with the 2. 7 litre v-6 and 5 speed manual transmission. I have had a recent problem with the clutch slipping. I have looked on line and read about the problems with this issue. Before i bought the car (new in 2006) i read about the clutch issues on line and thought that with the class action lawsuit settled, that the issue was resolved from the earlier model years. When you get some rpms on the vehicle (about 4000), and just before you up-shift the clutch starts slipping. The car has also started grabbing and slipping from a standstill. I guess i have been lucky, i have been driving mine since may of 2006 with very little to complain about. |
