Hyundai Repair: clutch, clutch master cylinder, clutch fluid


Question
I have a 2003 tiburon gt6 with about 40k miles. I cannot get the car in gear until it runs for about 15min. Once it warms up it operates normally. What the problem and how is it fixed? Thanks.

Answer
The greatest possibility is that your clutch fluid is low.  Start by checking the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder.  If low, inspect the master cylinder (under the hood and inside the firewall) and release cylinder for leaks.

If no leaks are found, there may be a problem with the clutch itself.  If you suspect this, I recommend you take your car to be professionally diagnosed.  The clutch for your car is very expensive, and you don't want to spend that amount of money needlessly.
