Clutch Assembly - ELANTRA & TIBURON: Installation
- Apply multipurpose grease to the spline of disc. When installing the clutch, apply grease to each part, but do not apply too much grease. Excessive grease can cause clutch slippage and shudder.
- Install the clutch disc assembly to the flywheel using special tool (09411-11000).
- Install the clutch cover assembly to the flywheel and temporarily tighten the bolts one or two steps at a time in a star pattern.
- Align the bearing to the release fork and then install it to the sleeve of housing. Apply multipurpose grease (MOLYWHITE TA No. 2) to the grease groove of bearing sleeve and contact point of release fork.
- Install the release lever to the release fork. If transaxle assembly is installed to engine without doing this step, release bearing can be separated as the release fork rotates free.
- Install the transaxle assembly to the engine. Reverse removal procedure to install transaxle assembly.
- After finishing step 6, push the release lever to the arrow mark. A "click" will be heard when the release bearing and clutch cover are aligned correctly. Release lever operating range is 3° or less. If the range is over 3°, the release bearing and clutch cover are not aligned correctly. Push the release lever to the arrow mark one more time.
