MANUAL CLUTCH DEFECTIVE AT ONLY 13,300 MILES. CHECKED ONLINE, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH KIA, MANY WITH EVEN LESS MILES. APPARENTLY KIA KNOWS THE CLUTCH IS DEFECTIVE AS THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL (6) OF THE CLUTCHES PARTS IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR'S MODEL BUT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CLUTCH IS A "WEAR AND TEAR ITEM". I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A CLUTCH WEARING OUT AT ONLY 13,300 MILES. MY LAST MANUAL VEHICLE (JEEP) HAD 89,000 MILES WHEN TRADED IN AND STILL HAD THE ORIGINAL FACTORY CLUTCH. *TR
