Description of the problem	2005 matrix xrs, 6 speed manual. Clutch began to go at 35,000 miles, completely burned out at 37,000 miles with a horrid burning/sulfur smell. Also, sunroof will not close all the way, stays open at the front about 1/2". It will open from there, but will not close properly. Nothing is stuck or in the way, just won't close. I am replacing my clutch on monday for $900. 00, and the mechanic i am seeing just replaced a clutch on the same make/model/year/trim as my car. I've also seen various other complaints about this same issue. Clutch is defective. *jb
