I was thinking of installing my clutch and flywheel by my self

never done this sort of thing before but have a manual(book).
its a 1st gen
What do you all think.
Should i do it or pay more for a pro to do it???

Also wanting to know if any bearings or seals should be changed and are these generic parts or do they have to be specially obtained from a hyundai motor company

 

The new clutch should come with a new pressure plate and throwout bearing. If it doesn't, you should probably invest in a new throwout bearing and clip.

You can do it yourself in about 4-6 hours. It's Not that hard, but there are a lot of little steps to do.

you've got to remove both axles, so you need gear to oil to fill the tranny back up, and a pan to drain it into.

If done right, you shouldn't need any seals.

 

Hes never done this before random

Make sure you do it on the weekend, cause youll always run into something weird...

 

man i hope you guys help me out if i get stuck..

Thanks for the info rolleyes.gif we'll see

 

all i can say is REMEMBER TO PUT THE THROWOUT BEARING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FORKS!! First gen tibbys(dont know on any other) Have a pull type clutch, meaning it pulls the forks toward the engine instead of away, or wait vice versa.....random clear that up again for me please. and explain before he does what i did!!!

Thanks

and theres a bolt u have to undo that releases the throw out bearing, it gave me trouble

 

Make sure you pull the lever off the fork(arm connected to slave cylinder) so the fork can release the throwout bearing, Thats the only problem I ran into. I unbolted everything and was ready to pull the tranny out then I sat there 20 mins trying to figure out what was still holding it on, it still only took an hour and a half to do but I did it on a lift with air tool's.

 

it took me two days doing it by myself with no air tools, no friends, and on a jack. i think i did all right

 

ok... let me see if i can explain it

You need to pull the lever over the "block"

When you look at the lever... look at its movable limits...

It wont be able to go one way, because of this little block (its actually the tranny housing)

You need to loosen the lever and pull it over that part... after that, youll be alright

Except alligning the dam tranny... that was a pain in the *** for me

 

Any other info will be most helpful.

Cheers for that..

I'll have my car on stands no air tools just me myself and i.
are any special tools needed?
