Re: 2006 Elantra owners
it was bent from day one.. manufacturering flaw... thats why they replaced
it under warranty.. what ticked me off when it happened was the service
writer that "used" to work there took it for a drive and said it felt fine..
couple months later still feeling like there was a problem with the clutch,
I asked the senior tech to take it for a drive, he was back within 5 mins
and said the clutch was damaged and needed to be replaced.. upon removal of
the assembly he said the throughout bearing was bent...

Our opinions differ here. 100,000 is lousy for a modern clutch. Sounds
like your car was abused, either by the former owner or the latter
owner. :-)

Re: 2006 Elantra owners
when you were letting yer foot up off the clutch, it felt like it was all
the way out then it would grab and feel like it was releasing kinda like you
were double clutching without actually doing it....
