RE: Please respond quickly! - 5/24/2007 12:22:24 AM    Iaidoka Posts: 9 Status: offline I have done tons of research about the clutch issues.  Most of the issues on the earlier GK Tibs are caused by a spring in the slave cylinder.  Apparently there has been a lot of luck by removing this spring which causes a mechanically induced slippage of the clutch to facilitate a smoother shift.  After speaking with numerous dealer service mgrs it appears Hyundai has also figured out this problem.  They are stating that Hyundai in many cases is recommending this spring be removed allowing the clutch to engage more quickly reducing the induced slippage.  It actually feels and behaves like a clutch should after removing the spring and does not hurt the car.  More importantly, if done by a dealer its not voiding the warranty. On the 2005s there were improvements on the clutch parts themselves.  On the 2006s+ a new manufacturer is used to make the clutch and manufacturing itself has been changed.  This is why you dont hear of 2006s and 2007s with these issues unless the car is absolutely abused regularly.  Any car is going to have issues with that kind of treatment. I have a friend with an 06 and almost 50k without a hitch. Original clutch, no issues and he is not what you call an easy driver.  < Message edited by Iaidoka -- 5/24/2007 12:24:54 AM > (in reply to moonz) Post #: 11

The spring I think can stay out too, as it only holds the orifice in place, but if you remove the spring and not the little piece with the orifice, you still will have funky clutch activation. I think I can dig up more information on this if you need me to; just let me know. _____________________________ (in reply to Iaidoka) Post #: 13

RE: Please respond quickly! - 5/25/2007 2:53:12 PM    Iaidoka Posts: 9 Status: offline Doohickie, You are correct that there is a little black piece that comes out with the spring.  I should have been more clear.  It causes a flow restriction in the fluid (dot 4 brake fluid) enabling the clutch to engage and disengage more slowly thus causing more wear and tear.  There is actually a DIY in the DIY section on NewTiburon.com for anyone who is interested in this mod (appologies if this "link" to another forum is not allowed.)  A garage or dealer should be able to to it for around $40-50 bucks if you are not comfortable doing the work yourself.  However, I suggest putting in your own reseach before attempting any such modification. Thank you for catching my omittance and moderating counter productive posts. Iaidoka. (in reply to Doohickie) Post #: 14

RE: Please respond quickly! - 5/26/2007 5:35:42 PM    Doohickie Posts: 856 Joined: 2/6/2006 Status: offline moonz sent me a PM indicating he is resigning from the forum "as a content provider". It started when he took exception to vosser's sigfile which says, "service advisor at Elhart Dodge, Nissan, Hyundai".  moonz said something like that service advisor wasn't accurate; that vosser is, well, something worse.  So I made Post 12 asking him to refrain from namecalling in accordance with forum rules.  He took exception to that and left.  I tried to send him a PM to discuss it, but he has disabled PMs.  I tried to send him an email, but the email address he provided, moonz@yahoo.com, not a valid email address. I was kind of disturbed when I first read his PM, but since he doesn't want to talk about it, there's not much I can do to try to make things right with him. Moving on... _____________________________ (in reply to WheelBroker1) Post #: 16
