Need instructions for replacing my 1994 elantra

without look i cannot be of any help but if the pedal is hard to push down then you need a new clutch ,sorry to give you the bad news so dont curse me and send the demons .

What was wrong to start with that made you replace the cylinders? There is a back story that will probably tell the tale. It could possibly be a locked slave cylinder - did it work in-out before installing? If not, its a pressure plate and/or throwout bearing bound up.

Hope this helps,

if you supplied a photo it didn`t show.

The clutch hydraulic system is very simple, just 3 pieces. There is the clutch master cylinder with attached fluid reservoir-mounted on the firewall, there is a steel line from the master going down to the transaxle bell housing, and there is the clutch slave cylinder on the bell housing that the steel line connects to.
If yours is leaking under the car, it is probably the slave cylinder, either that or the steel line. Either one should be easy to replace.

The solution is pretty cut-and-dry. Fix the fluid leak and your transmission will go into gear. I don't know what to tell you to fix exactly because I do not know where it is leaking from. If it is leaking from the slave cylinder, replace the slave cylinder; If it is leaking from the master cylinder, replace the master cylinder, etc.

Fixing just one part of the clutch may not be the best option for you however. Clutch parts seem to wear out all within a few thousand miles of one-another. Depending on how many miles are on your vehicle you may want to do a complete clutch replacement so you won't have any further clutch problems for several years.

The fluid resivor is a small bowl with a cap on it on the drivers side under the hood near the brake master cylinder. If there is no fluid in it the clutch may be worn out and needs to be replaced. Also if you fill the resivor you may need to bleed the system. Fill the resivoir with normal brake fluid (DOT 3) them locate the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder bolted to the transmission. I have pictures for you of the Clutch master cylinder (where the fluid goes) and the slave cylinder where you bleed it.

There are two types of clutch actuators. (Mechanical & Hydtraulic)
A. For mechanical type,- Check the clutch cable as
this could be cut from wear and tear. This is easy
to replace. You can find this connected to the
pedal and the clutch lever near the transmission.
B.For hydraulic operated - Check the level of the
hydraulic oil at the cylinder of the hydraulic
actuator under the hood. This actuator is
directly connected to the pushrod driven by the
pedal. If the actuator is leaking, you have buy
a repair kit (Hyraulic clutch repair kit for Ford
Ranger 1994 MOdel.) These items must be
repaired to activate your pedal.

You will have to replace the rubber and the piston like mechanism to get this done. If you found an assembly replacement for the entire clutch slave, the better. The leaks may be caused by faulty rubber or valve on the piston but this can be caused by the linings of the cylinder becoming rough due to wear and tear.

Slave cylinder should be on the left side of the bellhousing (follow the line from the clutch master if necessary) If you don't see fluid but you have lost some, also check where the rod from the pedal goes through the firewall to the master...they often leak there and will not drip on the ground.

Hi Jackiaria

Unfortunately you have a hydraulic clutch, which is self adjusting on your car.

The problem you are experiencing is the excessive wear to your clutch, or oil contamination on the clutch plate.

Both these problems can only be fully diagnosed once the gearbox is removed and the clutch is inspected.
There is also a possibility of excessive wear, or scoring, on the flywheel surface, the longer you drive the vehicle with a slipping clutch, possibly requiring the flywheel to be skimmed.

Shop around for a best price, and a trustworthy garage !

Good Luck !

A FixYa rating would be Nice....Thanks.....John.
