Some real horror stories in there! It sounds like the "delay valve" in that slave cylinder is at least partly to blame. What a crock -- I've driven stick-shift cars that got 100,000+ miles out of the clutch, and then only the clutch disc itself would be worn. (Though if you're going to go to the trouble of replacing that, SOP is to also replace the pressure plate and throwout bearing, at least.) The stories of flywheel failure are particularly troubling, I've *never* had to replace a flywheel, at worst I've seen them need to be resurfaced and they frequently don't even need that unless the clutch disc wears down to the rivets. I'm sure glad our '06 Sonata has the automatic transmission, that they pretty much have to fix if it breaks!!
