Tom,
Your clutch will not "burn-out" as you say, but it will start slipping a little here and there in the beginning. Do not worry about the clutch at this point if there are no signs of slippage.
What you can do is locate a replacement. Try to get a "better" clutch and pressure plate. What I mean by better, try to source one out from the better manufacturers of clutches, like ACT, Unorthodox racing and check this one out: http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/default.asp?NoTrack=0&Br andCd=HPF&SubCategoryCd=DISK
Hyundais are a lot of fun and very good quality vehicles, you just have to perform the required maintenance that's all...
Enjoy the Accent Tom... Happy Thanksgiving!
