> Hard for me to imagine that a clutch could completely wear/burn away the > lining material in 4K miles and not make some sort of unusual smell. > This is a weird one. My other question is how can it totally wear out (whatever the cause) and not slip prior to total failure? Is there something about the clutch design on these that keeps it from slipping prior to full failure? In my prior experience (older cars) when a clutch does go it's been very obvious well before total failure - I've actually never had full failure of a clutch as I've been able to drive it to the mechanic to get it fixed because I could feel it slipping well before full failure. Have clutch designs changed in the last 10 years such that this is no longer the case? |

I don't see how this could happen either without some other concurrent failure of the throw-out bearing, slave cylinder or master cylinder (assuming you have a hydraulic clutch). Matt |

I've seen it done on a brand new (not even sold yet) car (but not a
Hyundai). We picked it up from another dealer, and on the test drive prior to delivery, the customer noticed the slipping. |

Weird problem. Never heard of that before. Your statement above just about boils it down to some type of failure. Perhaps the hydraulics sprung a leak, bringing the clutch pressure down very low causing slippage. Unless it happened on 1 long run without using the clutch, you would have noticed it. Even then, you should have noticed the engine revving higher than normal. What a strange problem! -- Bob |
