2003 Tiburon Gt 6spd won't go into gear

I have a 2003 Tiburon GT 6spd and for some reason it won't go into gear on occassion. I can put the clutch to the floor and (i've only tried this once) pushed on the shifter with most of my strength and it goes no where. On top of that, sometimes it felt like it didn't fully engage the gear and I could just lightly tap the shifter and it would pop out (mostly happened in 3rd). My mechanic has adimittedly failed to cure the problem and my car has been gone for 2 weeks. Anyone got advice?

There is a "simple" slave cylinder modification for this car which helps with clutch issues. I performed it on my used 2003 Tiburon GT 6 speed and it helped quit a bit actually. Go to http://www.newtiburon.com and type "slave cylinder mod" in the search. You should be able to find a DIY there. I highly recommend you do this mod to your 2003-2005 tiburon if you're having clutch problems. Good luck!

SOURCE: 2003 Tiburon GT 6spd won't go into gear occassionally

dear friend-1st test:switch engine of and run threw the gears,check 3rd gear engagement(travell),if engagements is smooth we can say that your problem is clutch related,start of with bleeding the clucth,check travell on slave when pressing clutch,check for obstruction at gear shift meganism on top of gearbox.

Changed clutch in my 03 tiburon gt 6 speed now i have no spark

you forgot to put the crank sensor back on, or you broke it, or you forgot to hook it back up, or you pinched the harness when you tightened the trans. to the block.

I recently purchased a 2003 hyuandai tiburon GT with 171k miles on it i was on the interstate doing 80 mph in 4th gear at around 6k rpm when my clutch pedal dropped back into the floor board and just...

hmmm... 80mph @6000 rpm is not normal. you are needing a lot of power to produce 80mph. it seems clutch assembly needs replacement. clutch assembly includes clutch disc, fly wheel, and release bearing. might as well check your clutch master if the vacuums are still working properly. this might be the culprit to the stuck up clutch pedal.

after replacing the clutch assembly, you can reach 80mph @ 4000-4500rpm

I changed the clutch on my 2003 hyundai tiburon gt 2.7l 6 speed now when i push the clutch it wont go into gear and if i push the brake it shuts off

Have you checked to clutch fluid? Did you disconnect and hoses or fittings that are part of the clutch system. You may need to bleed the system to get the air out.

2003 Hyundai Tiburon making a weird noise

Hello mpolci...The 2003 Tiburon was sold to the public with a defective clutch, it failed due to warpage and bad pressure plate... among other things. There are MANY class action lawsuits. Did you resurface or replace the flywheel when the clutch was replaced? Did you go with an aftermarket clutch kit, or factory? Also the slave cylinder on the 03 was known to have a defective valve.
You can try checking the levels and bleeding the system and if you still have problems, then it could be a release bearing, a loose clutch pad, or a broken pressure plate spring....If the clutch is still under warranty, i would return it to the installer.
Good luck, i hope this helps...please rate me a fixya.
