Oh sorry I didn't notice x_x
I had to drive it home from the..auto repair place..
My aunt's husband had the same problem happen to his..accent, and he's pretty good with cars so I'm gonna see if I can get him to take it to the dealer. It would be like 200+ dollars to get it towed now doubt.

dude... what the crap.

Are you the original owner of the Tib? What year is it? How many miles are on it? (Please go to the User CP and update your Vehicle info)

You should have Hyundai Roadside Assistance (they come to you and tow your car to a dealership). I would suggest having the dealership look at it, or at least ask them what they think the problem might be, and ask if it's covered under warranty. If it isn't, ask for a rough estimate on how much it will cost. Can't hurt to ask.

Rev-matching doesn't require pushing the brake...

1. No im not the original owner, but it should still be under warranty
2. 2001
3. 44,280 give or take 15 miles
Will they tow it for free? Because it's a pretty long ways from my house -> hyndai dealer..

I'll have to call and ask them about that..I didn't even know it existed

1-800-243-7766 - Hyundai Roadside Assistance

Eh, is it bad that I've called it so many times that I have it saved in my cell phone? :

Call and give them your info. They'll ask for VIN # (last 6 digits I think) and your name and info. Ask them if they can tell you whether it's covered under the Hyundai Roadside Assistance. Some of the warranties aren't covered as a second owner. If you still have Roadside Assistance, they will tow it for free.

I've had my car towed 3 or 4 times (lost count) and everytime I've had them pass up 2 dealerships to take it to one over 35 miles away. The 2 closer dealerships refused to work on my car, because of the body kit, and I trusted the one 40-45 miles away. They'll ask where you live and ask if you want it towed to ____ dealership, and you can choose a different one if you'd like.

[QUOTE=bluetibbay]so when IM stopped i have to hold the clutch in, brake so I don't move, and gas so i keep rpm's from going to 0.....QUOTE]

So much for that cluch... I woulda parked it. If it WAS just your cluch fluid level... its a LOT more now. I am surprised you didnt smell burning cluch by doing that.
