these videos are fantastic. They show all the little steps that SI leaves out or makes confusing.

I had never heard of a inverted pressure plate or pull-type clutch. I was changing the transmission so I took the lever arm off to transfer it. so I got it apartluckily. bit I had to research this video to convince myself that what I saw was real. Excellent video!!

U my friend are a god sent hahaha no one would known that trick at end of video for the tb clip into pressure plate. Great work sir

Thanx! Not always easy saving some money but feeling confident for no surprises or making errors after watching your video. Good tips! Really appreciated! Thumbs up!

Thank you so much for that video. I was stuck with the removal of my transmission for about 4 frustrating hours. Thanks you for saving what little hair I have left on my head,lol.

Thanks for the great video! Really saved me lots of frustration. Using studs to help line up transmission was an excellent idea! One thing of note, for some reason it took a few tries to get bearing to snap into pressure plate. I gave the engine a half turn and then bearing snapped into place. Not sure if it was because the snap ring clip opening was positioned at twelve o clock but clicked into place when clip opening was at six o clock. Thanks again!!!

Thank you grandpa. It's a really good video.

Thank you for saving me the head ache of having to do this job twice

Dear Sir, Thank you for this video, which details procedures not covered in my Haynes manual, which had no mention of the necessity of removing the activation lever. I had been tugging for quite a while before I gave up and found your video. Upon removing the lever, success was achieved. It also aided my reassembly procedures, which were too scantily covered in the Haynes manual. God Bless You! Regards, Andy Goetz

I have a 2000 Elantra which I believe is the same. Not only would I never do this myself, I think it's a miracle that my mechanic was able to do it.

man that was a lot of help on removing the gear box thanks perfectionclutch !!!!!

My first ever clutch replacement is going to be on my Hyundai Coupe Gen1 (Tiburon over that side of the pond I believe?). I'm glad I saw your video to warn me not to mate the release bearing and clutch together before I put the box on as I can nearly 100% guarantee i'd have wasted £120 on a clutch kit and made that mistake. Thank you very much for clear concise guidance!

Thanks a million it was really a great source. Your comments were also very helpful. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Walter

@Aussie50 thanks i just commented on a comment of yours about it. ive been trying for two days.i just wish these guys would showed it more in detail but i went back watched there vid thank god i caught it

You guys rock, you just saved me a major headache and A LOT of time... Thank You

An excellent video for following very neat and precise procedures. And the operation of the components are explained in detail well.

@eredy you have to undo the clutch fork actuator and allow it to rotate out of the way

Wow! Great video!

good video, clear and direct well done.

God bless this man

Greit work, thank You !!!

hi, great vid, very helpful. im working on a 2001 santa fe and had a heck of a time removing the trans even after taking the release lever off. after alotta wrangling got the trans off and found that the release fork shaft is about seized. how hard is this to remove?

You the man thank you

great video...am Hoping this will guide me through the fitting on my 2007 Sportage

Thank you so much! I never knew about pull type clutches. This Hyundai has a rock hard clutch pedal but i can compress the slave cyl rod and move fluid back up then it pumps up rock hard again. I disconnected the arm on the trans and it has free play. Is it a bad clutch assy or faulty hydraulics?

great instruction thanks

Who is watching this in 2023. People don’t make such videos like this anymore. Its a Gem 💎

Great video so far, I just had a question at around 9:20 . What exactly is the alignment tool, and what are you doing with it when you are inserting it to make sure it is aligned correctly?

Is very good job professional,thanks

Excellent video.

Great video, Could you please let me know which way the raised part of the clutch plate faces?

i have a 2010 elantra blue.. do ya have a video on the clutch job for it?

@perfectionclutch thanks i re watched saw that i for got the arm its in now just have to get everything else on with out ur vid id never got it off thanks

@eredy yeh my friend had the same prob, such a silly little thing to overlook. since most clutches are push type.

Thank you for a well illustrated video. This makes for a better visual on the clutch process. 2003 elantra gt will get a clutch (on the original at 105k city miles). Now pressure plate or clutch does not bite enough. But 100k+ miles original makes sense right? :) kudos for uploading this video. Now to use the service hoist in my garage for more than brakes.

I had a new clutch kit installed in my car along with a new master cylinder 01 elantra gls. When i got it back the clutch pedal basically had to be pinned to the floor to release the friction between the clutch/pressure plate/flywheel. Do you have any videos on how this is adjusted?

The new bearing come with a plastic ring that is put on the ring that lock in the pressurue plate. I have to take that plastic thing off? Or just put it like that

I'm working on a 2003 tiburon. I got flywheel and clutch kit from AutoZone. I'm not sure what side of the disk goes towards the flywheel or vise versa. I tried it both ways and the pressure plate doesn't seem to sit all the way down on the flywheel when tightened down. Is my friction disk too thick ??

Hello! Thank you for your video. I have an issue with my Elantra 2007. While changing the transmission I'm following all the steps you mentioned but for any reason the arm release forge comes off, what would be the issue for that and how can I solve it?

Perfectionclutch i just watched this video to get a better understanding on how a pull type clutch works and installed. I notice you said that the clutch release fork is installed with a top and bottom bushing on this particular vehicle you were working on i know you did a separate video flywheel/clutch removal and install on a 2003 tiburon 2.7, did that one use a bottom bushing on it? i know it has a top one i just can't remember if there is one there where the clutch fork sits in the bottom hole. I'm doing a solid flywheel and clutch upgrade on my 2003 Tiburon GT as well. i'm following the step by step procedure that you show on you're video. Great video tutorial thanks it helps a lot!

Hi, My car is a Hyundai Accent 1.5 CRDi Dynamic 3 door version (MC) with D4FA engine... structure begins with KMHCN.. is the accent 3rd version of 2005-2006. Thanks again. Best

I have a 2010 elantra BLUE with a 5-speed would this video be applicable for me? If not do you have one for this generation? Thank you.

How do u know the release bearing is fully locked in

Hi Gary, my car used to have factory dualmass flywheel now I already have a Valeo solid flywheel converion on my tiburon v6. My question is, can I still use all clutch kits available for tiburon 2.7? Or i need a special kit for my solid flywheel?

thanks for making this video .... save me a lot of grief

i wanna see how u got the transmission off the engine getting all the bolts out

Hello there Video is awesome but on my 08 Kia Rio it's the same as this car..... I can't get a clutch peddle.... How far does it push out?

if the clutch isnt lined up in my 96 elantra can it hinder it from connecting and allowing the clutch to work right

so that mean i have to get a hole new clutch bc the bearing is on the pressure plate is there a tool i can get it off

@Aussie50 i cant get the trans off from the motor whats going on every thing is off

Should I Have the flyWheel resurfaced ?

have a 2000 elantra can any 1 tell me what way the clutch faces mine is not marked.

hi, ok thanks no worries I've got that information from local reseller, is smf. Country is Italy.

you had the flywheel changed or turned ?

i bought a clutch kit do need to replace the fly wheel too?

Do you have to have a dilemmas clutch

excellent video. now I know what happened with my clutch but a have a question. this mechanism is the same for a DELTA V6 engine for Hyundai Tiburon GT V6. well thanks for the response......

Please say how to remove release bearing from pressure plate

I have a 2003 Tiburon GT 5 speed and it messed up on me one night the clutch pedal went straight to the floor and wouldn't come up. So I changed the Clutch master Cylinder and slave Cylinder (thanks for your Video by the way) And im not sure if i have the pressure right or I think the throwout bearing might be damaged. If thats the case I will just replace the clutch and all whats better a single mass or a dual mass flywheel for longer life?

Thank you

I am having a problem with my clutch. I jumped into my car in the morning pushed the clutch pedal to the floor and the pedal felt as if it would if there was air in the hydraulic system. I got out bled the system but no air came out, and did not improve the feel of the pedal. The clutch feels like it engages right when you push the pedal but I only feel resistance for about an inch and then nothing. When I drove the car if I accelerate quickly the clutch slips and the rpm just increases.

please can you tell me what type of flywheel mounts accent mc 1.5crdi with d4fa engine? I got the 3 door car... is it a smf or dmf? I cannot find this information on the Web.. I've found clutch kit without flywheel included

Hi i just put a clutch in a tiburon gt and i cant get the release bearing to lock onto the pressure plate, yes i am sure that i put the bearing on right, when i push the arm on the top of the trans it just wont lock in that release bearing onto the pressure plate any help thanks

what would cause the clutch lever from not moving? My clutch pedal will not move.

good video but i'm having a problem to bolt back in place the transmission . I would of liked if you could show the length of the bolts and their position . The thing is that it's my friend that took it out and something doesn't seem to fit in or is missing on a hyundai elantra 2001 .

In an Hyundai accent 1996 it´s the same clutch ?

I have a 2007 Tiburon GS 5 speed and the clutch is just barely starting to slip (it only slips when its cold, too). 65k miles - bought a kit with the disc/plate/bearing for a good price. Is this job possible to do on jack stands? How many miles under normal highway driving conditions do I have left before its gone?

I locked the throw-out bearing onto the clutch cover of my 2005 Spectra... I just about lost my mind... however, I did figure out how to remove the bearing without damage.. it requires my old friend...the ice pick, You find the opening where the locking-spring ears come out...pushing each ear in turn fully out, and holding with pressure, then push on one edge of the bearing and it will move back...then bump the bearing and will come out.. be patient and it WILL come out... big save!

hi guys i just did the clutch in my 2003 tiburon 2.0 five speed now unfortunately i cant shift into any gears other then second fourth and reverse ive tried everything i can think of HELP!!!

Hi clever people I have a problem with my 98 Elantra now I have my car idling foot off the clutch while moving the gear stick in and out of all gears while the car idles perfect no hiccups.????

do you guys sell clutch kits? I'm studying videos in preparation for a 2004 kia rio clutch replacement. I have the service and repair manual but am wondering if I should purchase Mitchell subscription.

Hi I want to know if the conversion clutch kit works for Santa Fe , sonata, Kia Optima 2000-2005 2.4 engine

When converting to a solid mass flywheel what all needs to be done

@perfectionclutch I have an issue with a new clutch not disengaging all the way. Installed the new disk, flywheel, and pressure plate correctly. Installed the bearing onto the input shaft with fork slipped into place. When I am in gear with the clutch pedal pressed all the way the clutch disk is still partially engaged. I replaced the slave cylinder and bled system. I even worked the Fork with a prybar to eliminate slave cylinder from the equation and it still wont fully disengage and I am moving the arm to its fullest travel point with the pry bar. The bearing must be seated because i can "feel" the resistance from the pressure plate on the arm when i move it with the pry bar. Do I have a improperly machined Pressure plate (clutch mating surface too thick) or too thick of a clutch disk? All parts are new and Clutch kit is SACHS brand.

what if I installed the bearing on the clutch shield and was able to remove it. Would I still be able to use it?

Is there any way to remove that clutch release bearing when its on the pressure plate?

I already changed the the master and slave cylinder, and the pedal still did not work properly so I think the throwout bearing need to be replaced. so I am just going to replace the whole thing with a new clutch kit

I have a Hyundai Elantra year 2000 and a few months ago my transmission decided to start acting up. It won't go in reverse at all and it has a lag between 1st and 2nd gear then kicks when it does shift. Is this a clutch issue? I've replaced the input/output speed sensors as well as transmission fluid/filter. I really want my car back. Thanks for any help.

I just installed a clutch on my car. The alignment was good and every was installed correctly. After I cranked the car up, the clutch will not go down. Why is this?

i got all the bolts off from motor how do i get the trans off no matter how i try it wont come off every thing is off

A friend got a junkyard engine for his 2000 Elantra and put it in. New clutch kit as well. It tries to start then just grinds bad. He broke 2 starters at the mounting location. He replaced the flywheel and starter and same thing. I got to hear it this time and it started to start then it grinds so bad I said no more, something is way off! I see used engines are sold for this car as Vin F or G, he doesnt know what his used engine came from. Any ideas what was done wrong.

Some body who know how can i remove the bearing from the pressure plate

@averncollins me either can any one help

My clutch very similar to that! I am using Part Number KF605-02 I purchased from O'Reilly's Auto Parts in Santa Rosa California. It is for a 1989 Mercury Tracer, 1.6L non-turbo. The original clutch that I removed had 6 springs on the clutch the new one has only 4. The original pressure place I removed has many little "fingers" on the diaphragm spring, the new one has less. When comparing the two clutch assemblies side by side they appear to have the same dimensions - Throw out bearing, clutch disc, and pressure plate. But when I mount the pressure plate and torque the bolts to 20 ft. Lbs the CENTER of the Diaphragm Spring gets sucked in totally flat towards the engine away from the throw out bearing, it does not protrude outwards towards the trow out bearing at all! It is not a hydraulic clutch. When I mount the bell to the engine and connect the clutch cable properly I do not have any tension at all on the clutch pedal. It feels exactly like when it is not hooked up at all. It goes straight to the floor with very little resistance and sticks there until I use my hand to pull back it up. I did that 3 separate times wit the same result. When I mount the old pressure plate and tighten it down, the many diaphragm springs do not go flat, they still protrude towards the throw out bearing. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE NEW CLUTCH ASSEMBLY #KF605-02 ?? After the person at O'Reilly's looked online at other part stores and crossed referenced then they said there is actually tow parts numbers for a 1989 Mercury Tracer 1.6L non-turbo. There are a KF605-02 and a KF605-01. He said they sell mostly the KF605-02. Is one a diaphragm type on the other a coil spring type pressure plate? Hopefully I will not have to go with a different brand.

why do you say the bearing is hard to remove from the plate when it locks in? i removed it in 10 seconds with reg. snap ring pliers straight tip.

@averncollins you left the slave slender arm on take it off he tells about it in the first part of vid just saw it i know what i did wrong put a couple screws in the trans to motor tighten it up

My wife's 2006 elantra burned through a clutch in 12k miles, when I pulled it apart the throwout bearing was not attached to the pressure plate and there was no resistance pulling the transmission apart from the engine. Looks like this is why, last person to install the clutch did it wrong.

👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯

Once I lock it in place it and install everything it comes as soon as I push the pedal on car...what's going on?

todo muy lindo pero no estad en auido latino espanol

and yes it's diesel

Got tricked by one the other night, Elantra 1.8L. everyone else in the civilized world used push type that just come apart. this one required the clutch slave cylinder be removed and the slave lever.

Ok now you did not say how to get the fucking thrust bearing out the pressure plate!! Thank you for that.

perfectionclutch after i installed clutch does not shift into gear helo

It's not 11-16 Ft/Lbs of torque, instead it should say 11-16 Ft-Lbs. Moment (torque) is calculated by multiplying force perpendicular to the wrench (Lbs) by the radial distance from the axis of rotation (Ft). Therefore, there is no division. Units are the reason we missed the moon the first time.
