Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2003 hyundai tiburon gtv6 - 6 speed in april of 2003. 20,000 miles later, thought normal wear and tear, my clutch went out. the dealer replaced my clutch and flywheel using a technical service bulletin. now, at 48,000 miles (28,000 miles later), my clutch has failed again. i am in no way a hard driver, and am a very experienced manual transmission driver. this failure is costing me $2000 to repair, and has put me and my family in a financial strain. clutches should not go out this quickly, and there are many others who have had the same problems with no manufacturer resolution. i hope that this message reaches far; hyundai should address this problem immediately. i'm afraid that next time my clutch will fail on the highway and the circumstances may be a lot worse. *jb
