Tips/Tricks for swapping a clutch in an import??

[section525]

Anyone have any advice. Me and my buddy are about to tackle is GF's Hyundai Accent later on tonight. I've never even see under the hood on an import.

I found a How-To on Autozone.com or somewhere like that. It seems easy enough?

do you have a lift? in most cases its easier to drop the subframe and do it from underneath, the engine/tranny pretty much has to come out of the car.....

No I do not have a lift yet.

These are the instructions I was speaking of:

We may buy a manual for it as well.

All I can say is F Hyundais.

You basically take out the motor to get the transaxle out to change the clutch to hope that was the problem and that is works when it's back together. All I can say is no wonder they charge $700 for this!

Don't those seat covers belong in your truck?
