Default Do i need a new clutch yet?

My clutch is starting to only take at the last inch or so when i let it out. I've got about 40k on the clock and i'm running it pretty hard. Since i'm not doing any NOS and no turbo yet, should i look at a stage1 or stage2? I was thinking 1, but not if its weak like the stock. And probably a flywheel too.

Thats how mine is, but I just got a brand new (OEM) one put in like 2,000 miles, hope that ones not shot already. I haven't even raced the car w/ the new clutch yet sad.gif When my original clutch went bad it would slip in every gear. At first it felt like my RPMs would just go up a little bit when I put the pedal to the floor. Then it got bad when I would floor it and my revs would shoot up to redline. Then it did it in every gear, all the time.
So I hope ur clutch isn't goin bad, cuz that means mine is probably bad and if so i'ma raise hell cuz i just got it put in like a month ago

most stock clutches can last over 100000 miles easy. but im not sure about hyundai ones.

and if u get a performance one, beware kore's stage 2. i have one, and its having problems.

e-mail me with you clutch problem.. I do not understand why you people don't e-mail intead of posting don't buy this.

Gezz who knows maybe it was installed wrong.

But no you all post don't buy don't buy. Gues what there is over 100 stage 2's sold from KORE and no one has ever calle dto complain, let alone use the warranty on them, so the DON't buy this is junk needs to be justified first.

E-mail me @ koreadmin@kore-motorsports.com and we can discuss this.

I have a qustion for you all, are you changing gears properly? They are designed to be handled in a certain way, you can still go fast by NOT slamming the shifter back and forth... I don't know, I've never driven one consistently. I just hope I have a little more respect for the parts of the car I can't see...
