92 LeSabre clutch replacement

There is a switch on the clutch pedal under the dash, check that.

The rubber line is probably not allowing hydraulic pressure to build at the slave cylinder- you need the steel line. Try a junkyard.

What you need to do is bleed your clutch line. Usually, this is accomplished by filling the reservoir full of fluid, and then cracking a small nut at the clutch unit itself (You can find this clutch unit at the end of the clutch line that goes from the reservoir, it is a cylindrical unit with a rod that goes into the transmission). Make sure to fill up your clutch reservoir as you go along, and do not pump the clutch. Bleeding your clutch so that no air comes out of the bleed nut when the fluid comes out will prevent your sticky clutch issue-however, if it does this again, your car is at a prime age to have issues, and you might have to go through and replace parts. May I recommend a Chilton/Haye's manual? They are great for making complicated problems seem easy.

it is kind of beyond belief that someone could replace the entire clutch and yet be unaware that the actuator, be it hydraulic or mechanical, is not working. That is like saying you replaced the head but did not notice there were no pistons in the engine. The shifter fork sticks out the side of the bell housing and connects to the actuator.

You need to take it back to the person who did the clutch and inquire as to how he managed to miss the totally obvious. Having to get the vehicle towed back to your home after getting a new clutch installed would be a clue that something was awry with the clutch install.

Hi the problem you are having is going to be with the clutch plate you will find that it has worn down to the metal pins and has no actual clutch plate left.

What is happening is that when you put the car in gear and let the clutch up the clutch is slipping on the plate instead of gripping and this is why you loose the drive.

To solve this problem your going to need to buy a clutch repair kit if your doing the sork yourself or get someone else to fit the parts for you.

Your going to need to replace the following:
pressure plate
clutch plate
thrust bearing.

dont try driving the car as it is as you could cause damage to the gearbox if the clutch plate and pressure plate shatter so its not worth trying to move the car until you have had the clutch fixed.

getting the clutch replaced involves removing the gearbox from the engine and this is best done with the car on ramps as the gear box will come out from the bottom of the car so it needs to be high enough off the floor to allow you to remove the gear box, its not a hard job if you have done it before but it is heavy work and if you have not done this before then your best getting someone else to replace the clutch for you.

getting the clutch changed will solve your problem and get you up and running again in no time.

let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

You will need to rent a clutch pulley removal tool. Once you unbolt it just use the puller to remove the clutch and reinstall.

Yes, you'll need the proper A/C clutch removal tool. The clutch doesn't seal the compressor.

i would start by having the starter checked, if you can jump start with the clutch then this tells me its a starter problem,have that starter checked,

Your clutch is failing to disengage, this is a different problem to a worn out, slipping clutch.

If the clutch is cable operated then the cause will be a stretched or broken cable (replace) or the cable is out of adjustment (you may need to replace any automatic adjustment mechanism, but not all cars have them. If it won't adjust out then the cable is stretched and must be replaced). If you're unlucky, it's a badly worn or bent clutch fork and that will require a new fork and complete clutch replacement unless the existing clutch assembly is known to be almost new, but the release bearing will need to be replaced regardless is there's a fork problem.

If it's a hydraulic clutch then it's likely that the master or slave cylinders have a leak and if so must be replaced or overhauled.

If the car has been left standing unused for a while, then the clutch plate may be stuck to the flywheel or pressure plate by rust. This can normally be shocked free but it's a dangerous process if you're inexperienced; in the worst case this will involve having the clutch replaced but it doesn't usually go that far.

Sorry I can't be more specific, but '92 Hyundai Excels were never commonplace to begin with and eighteen years later are as rare as hen's teeth. The vehicle pre-dates the internet so it's unlikely that you'll find any free "how-to" guides online (I can't find any) and as it was never a big seller Haynes and others won't have produced a workshop manual for it.

I hope that my answer has been of some use, but none of the causes are really DIY fixes anyway unless you're a very experienced home mechanic so you'll either need a knowledgeable friend or professional clutch specialist to examine your car to diagnose the correct fix. As long as the clutch itself doesn't have to come out the repair should be relatively quick and cheap, and many clutch centres offer free clutch adjustments.

Please take a moment to rate my answer.

sounds like the shifter is worn out, replace the bushing at the shifter and the transmission.
