2001 Hyundai Tiburon Clutch Adjustment

Get a manual and ascertain the clutch adjustment procedures and read the section detailing what tools and safety precautions to observe before begin.

Take it to the dealer It should be under warranty and even if not it only can be done buy a trained pro there is a special tool they have to add or retract the the star adjuster it usually is a self adjustment for clutch wear but some times the star gets stuck and they have to go in there and readjust it hyundai has America's best warranty and even if you are not the original owner they still treat you well.

Dont know if yours is a mechanical or hydraulic actuated clutch.If it is manual, adjust the linkage to have about 1 inch of free play at top with clutch not depressed.This will give maximum disenggement with minimum slippage.If the unit is hydraulic, it has a master cylinder, similar to a brake master cylinder, but smaller.Check the fluid level.Check for leaks around the pedal shaft.If fluid is very low, it may be due to wear, or leaks.If fluid is very low, there could also be air in the sysem.Bleed as you would a brake system.There is a bleeder on the actuator cylinder.If the cylinder is worn out, repair kits are available, and very easy to install.Usually only one or 2 parts in a kit.

If all is well with the fluid and lines, adjust the linkage for about the same free play as for manual clutch.I do not know your car, but I have been working on vehicles of all kinds for over 30 years, and this generic advice should work for you.

Hope this helps you.
