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!

You'll need to be prepared to take the pictures of the parts at the
dealer-- they're required to keep them in the event Hyundai wants them, so
they won't be able to give them to you.

But, based on what you've described, it sounds worn out. So, unless
something came apart somewhere and got into the pressure plate, I don't
see what the defect would be. Others have speculated about a hydraulic
issue-- the only way this could cause the problem you describe is if the
clutch master cylinder pushrod is misadjusted, creating pressure in the
system.

Yes, it is possible to wear out a clutch in 4000 miles. I know someone
who burned out a clutch in 600 miles.

Isn't it the opposite? The clutch plates are pressed together by
spring pressure and are pushed apart by hydraulics. A hydraulic
leak should cause the clutch to be engaged all the time.

I don't really know how it works, I'm just guessing.

Damn, you're right. I guess I was thinking of brakes. :\
