    I have a 2002 Accent with manual transmission only 17,000 miles! Last
    February the clutch became very stiff and the stick shift would only
    move if the car was turned off. I was told that the fluid had to be
    replaced in the master cylinder because it was discolored. Three days
    later they had to replace the master cylinder because the clutch
    stopped working. Well last week it occurred again, the stick shift
    becomes clunky, difficult to shift in 1,2,3rd gears. They replaced the
    fluid again and said that Hyundai recommends that the boots be filled
    with a silicone material that is getting mixing in the fluid causing
    it to gum up.

    I’m so mad I could spit! What is wrong with it!

    Pretty much what they've said is wrong with the car is correct. I presume
    they'll change the master cylinder again. This problem appears to be more
    prevalent in cold weather.

    Should I just sell the car or trade it in?

    Two Master cylinder’s in one year is terrible!

    I suppose what you do is up to you. Right now, I would think that it's
    still within the warranty period and shouldn't require significant
    worrying.
