Some Hyundai Tiburon owners report experiencing issues with the manual transmission stick getting stuck in first and reverse when braking. These issues may be related to the clutch grabbing improperly due to the clutch cable not being properly extended, which can cause misalignment in the transmission hardware. Additionally, some owners notice a burning smell when trying to shift into reverse, indicating potential problems with the clutch. Difficulty in shifting into reverse may also stem from malfunctions with the transmission solenoid. In some instances, owners find that it requires multiple attempts to shift into reverse, necessitating a return to neutral, releasing the clutch, and then trying again. It is advisable for owners to ensure the clutch cable is properly adjusted, have the clutch inspected for any issues, and check the transmission solenoid for malfunctions to address these concerns effectively.
