Thank you for this video. I probably will be changing my clutch in next few weeks. My clutch doesn't slip at all but my release bearing sounds horrible and it sounds like something is going to break any day now. The first clutch broke under warranty just before 60,000 miles but not due to wear. Fortunately Hyundai fixed it so that didn't cost me anything other than not have my vehicle for few days. Today my 2015 Hyundai Elantra Sport 2.0L has 153,822 miles on it and 80% of those miles are all highway in top gear. I guess I should be happy that I got nearly 100,000 miles out of the replacement clutch. 😀 I usually get over 250,000 miles out of a clutch and that is on my last 2 trucks. This will be the first time I change a clutch on a front wheel drive car and I'm not looking forward to it but your video really let me know what I can expect. I don't have lift like your do at your shop so I'll be in my garage with my car lifted up on 4 jack stands but I will have enough clearance to remove the transmission. Again thanks for making this video and God bless you folks in Canada. 😀 Gene USA
Im glad that my video can help you, you will need roughly 2 feet of clearance in order to do this job with jack stands. I would suggest keeping the jack on the side where you are working for extra protection just incase the the jack stand lock lets go. also make sure you have the centering tool. thanks for watching.
I pretty much do a most of the mechanical stuff on all my cars & have been for many years. I never replaced a clutch yet & I probably could if I was dumb enough to even try & I'd probably screw it all up ! A 4 hour job done in 4 days filled with cursing , swearing & couple of nuts & bolts extra knowing they went somewhere scratching my head curious to know where & trying to convince myself thay were probably not all that important ! Needing a rebuilt clutch on my Elantra Touring 2012 will humbly accept defeat, bowing my head, taking that walk of shame & go pay the $400 to have it done & keep that 1 year guaranty that comes with the clutch assembly kit.
i understand what you are saying, it is not for everyone even the most mechanically inclined person and make mistakes and one should know their own limitations based on knowledge and experience. But as for the warranty, if a parts store is selling it to you, the warranty will still apply as long as it's in the time frame. unless the instructions say must be installed by a licensed automotive technician. warranties are there to say that this product will last "at least this long" now if there are special instructions for that warranty to be applied then that's another situation all together. Thanks for watching
Your video was so helpful. My hyundai transmission is about ready to go out and I'll be doing this in summer once I find a replacement. I'm not spending 2500 on a rebuild.
Cheap people… doesn’t pay for the fly wheel…smh lol I got a brand new one doing mine today just finished most the disassembly thanks for this video. Guy at the shop said to use anti size and not lube in the clutch the silver paint on stuff…but my question is why does everyone use different stuff inside? What does the dealer suggest we use at Hyundai/Kia? Or what brand do you use?
When you buy a new clutch fork, they normally come with a white synthetic grease on the pivot point. The lube that I used was synthetic brake lube, with a high temperature rating. the extra point that I lubed were more for personal reasons/experience(high movement= high wear----steel bearing race on aluminum shaft). Whichever you choose just make sure it has good lubrification properties(that wont fail after 6 months, and that it has a high enough temperature rating. Thanks for watching.
I have the exact same car 2012 Elantra and I need to change the clutch. I can do it by my self but since your garage is close to me I would like to do it with you. Let me know how much it’s could be. Great video!!!
And then engineers came with a brilliant idea : let's mount the engine and transmission on a subframe to reduce engine vibrations Result : higher purchase costs, higher repair costs, longer repair time. All this only so the driver doesn't feel a little bit of engine vibration
My daughter has a Hyundai Veloster 2015. Transaxle went out and come to find out that the flywheel is bad. Bought a new Transaxle but we can't find a flywheel anywhere for a reasonable price. Found one in California and they want a $1000 for it. It's an automatic and have had nothing but problems since she got it.
Hello thank you so much for this video! It was virtually the only resource I needed to pull this off for my first time (Just finished) but something is wrong. It drives perfectly but when I depress the clutch there is like a whining noise of some kind.. It goes away completely when I go into first and release the clutch (or any gear for that matter) but if im in my driveway in neutral and press the clutch in it whines? Please help I don't know what I did wrong..
@@JLsAutoSolution I didn't do anything with the pilot bearing (I don't think) how do I center the release bearing? I aligned the clutch with the centering tool that came with the kit but the bearing I just threw on the fork.. Thank you very much for the reply! Greatly appreciate it!
@@JLsAutoSolution More info - it ONLY happens when the clutch is within an inch or less to the floor. The bite point is much higher than that. Is it possible to make it to where the clutch touching the floor is an inch less or something?
Typically there should be one.. Due to the engine support being overly stressed.. But in the past 12years with kia i have yet to see a support break. I dont let the engine drop either. I support it first the slowly lower it. The angle that is achieved is the same angle needed when using and engine support beam. So the amount of flex in the support is the same, just a little more weight.. This works for me when I'm on the go.. But a support should be used but not necessary for THIS ENGine.. Now a v6 on kia/ hyundai... A support is a must. Thanks for watching..
I followed your video and successfully changed the clutch kit. But know I have a ton of movement on the engine and it clacks when I hit any bump, brake, or accelerate. I've double checked everything and I'm going crazy. Here's the movement from underneath when I tap the brakes. ua-cam.com/video/QXbWF7s4oNY/v-deo.html What's going on?
@@rolsryan how does the shifting feel? Crunchy. Smooth. You need to force? 1- try pumping the clutch pedal them Shifting. If its better tehn theres air in the system. 2Make sure you didnt bend the shift cable assembly. 3. Are all the grommets in there proper spots on the shift cables. 4. Are all grommets inbtheir proper spots for thw shift cable brackets.
One thing the release cylinder has in these cars (Kia Fortes too) is a "clutch delay valve". It is a flow control valve that causes the clutch to re-engage at a slower speed to "reduce shock". It is a major annoyance for anyone who knows how to drive manual, it will also ride the clutch no matter how fast you come off the pedal. Thankfully they are removable (behind the banjo bolt on the release cylinder's hydraulic line), but very few know about the valve. I would imagine the valve leads to a lot of heat damage and premature wear on these cars. You can see it in this vid. ua-cam.com/video/K9oJBZlwkcw/v-deo.html
We have people on forums complaining about the engine keeping the revs high for about 2 seconds when changing gears - without touching the gas pedal. Even on new 2023 models. Terrible choice of design
Thank you man the 8 to 11 minutes part really what made it work the bell housing is the main thing

At least ur being honest. 😅 I wanted to try this but probably not gonna now 😂
Thank you for this video

You are welcome, its always good to save some money of you are able to do the job properly and safely.
Thanks for watching
Fix my car because of this video
Nice. Right Man, right tooling. (Except the centring tool 🤣) 👍
Thanks Ian.. Yah that no centering tool was a real disappointment, but it all turned out well in the end,
Having a tough time getting the ball joints loose. I already know I damaged rubber seals.
Hopefully tomorrow morning I can get them loose
May be these videos can help.

nice video i wish you have explanation step by step how to remove the transaxle that would be really awesome
Thank you.
In the video this is the manual transaxle.. The automatic one is removed similar, with a few additional steps.
Thnaks for watching
What is that mistery cover I need one for my daughters car ???? Where do I get one lol that’s weird how it is so exposed to elements
I have the exact same car 2012 Elantra and I need to change the clutch. I can do it by my self but since your garage is close to me I would like to do it with you. Let me know how much it’s could be. Great video!!!
message me through email please.
Yes I did it
@@vinesurbain858 that's great
I’m waiting for your answer ahaha

Is the alignment tool absolutely necessary for this particular install?
yes an alignment tool is required for this install
How many hours (book) is this repair? I had mechanic quote $700 labor only. Seems high or reasonable?
alldata says 5.3 so depends on what the door rate is.. plus parts so around 1200-1500
Mechanics in Australia would charge that price of $700 plus gst Somewhere between $125 - $140 per hour .

Rock auto online
look for a flex plate not a flywheel. Flywheels are used on manual transaxles and flex plates on automatics.
Hey man does it hurt to remove the rubber seal from the transmission metal part
Remove the rubber with the clamp
Which seal are you referring too?

Release bearing not centered properly, or pilot bearing

Saan b ito at ipghwa ko elantra ko 2014 mdl. Tigas clutch
is this for mannual transmission ?
Yes this is for a manual transmission. just remember to use all needed safety equipment in order to safely perform this task.
What does it cost to do this job? Curios because I have the same issue right now and I’d rather not attempt it in my small garage lol
The cost is normally between 800-1200$(cad)
Thanks for watching
@@JLsAutoSolution Wow! I was expecting at least $2500!
Is there anything holding the engine up? I've seen some other videos using an engine cradle, is that necessary?
Typically there should be one.. Due to the engine support being overly stressed.. But in the past 12years with kia i have yet to see a support break. I dont let the engine drop either. I support it first the slowly lower it.

What's going on?
@@rolsryan did you bleed the clutch
The slave cylinder? I bled that when I put a new one on prior to changing the clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing.
@@rolsryan how does the shifting feel? Crunchy. Smooth. You need to force?
1- try pumping the clutch pedal them Shifting. If its better tehn theres air in the system.
2Make sure you didnt bend the shift cable assembly.
3. Are all the grommets in there proper spots on the shift cables.
4. Are all grommets inbtheir proper spots for thw shift cable brackets.
What’s your email I have questions, as I’m trying to put mine back together and it’s not going smoothly
did you get it back together,
is this manual or matic ?
it is a manual
