What owners wrote
2004 hyundai tiburon 2.0/ 2.7 v6.(affected years: 2003-2006?) on manual transmission models, clutch slave cylinder contains a "delay valve" that causes "slipping" and excessive wear on clutch components. Removal of said, "delay valve" in clutch slave cylinder is solution to eliminating this excessive wear. From what I have read, there has been no voluntary recall to correct this very simple issue and many people have suffered "massive" clutch failures that also include aftermarket clutch components and flywheels…
The clutch on my 2004 hyundai tiburon failed at 32,000 miles. It necessitated the replacement of the clutch and flywheel, at an expense of about $2,500.00 the clutch failed me while I was on the freeway, 1200 miles from my home.
