Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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 of superior strength over oem. failure of the clutch could put someone at risk when driving due to total failure, or partial failure of the clutch. i currently have 19500 miles on my car, and am still within warranty, but am told that the clutch wouldn't be covered even if it was failing. that seems to be the story with 99% of many people i have read who also own the 2003-2006 tiburon. mine still works at this point, but i don't know how much premature damage there is currently due to the "delay valve". please consider looking into this problem. hyundai should be held accountable for this failed part and cover it 100 percent. all while recalling all 2003-2006 models and removing this slave cylinder"delay valve". *jb
