'99 Elantra, clutch/transmission slips - HELP! - 12/12/2005 10:47:40 AM    zeke   Posts: 4 Joined: 12/12/2005 Status: offline Hello, everyone. I'm new here. I have a '99 Elantra, std/manual transmission, with 80,000 miles on it. The clutch/transmission slips on acceleration, in ALL gears (hit the gas, the engine revs, but the car won't accelerate). Sometimes it's very loose, sometimes the clutch will hold. This has been going on for about 3 months, and is getting progressively worse. I just changed the disc, pressure plate, and release bearing just one month ago, with the help of a certified tech on his time off. But the problem is still there, and still getting worse! Another Hyundai technician suggested that he usually changes the clutch's slave cylinder when replacing the clutch. Any ideas on whether this can be the fix, or what else it could be?

I did that with my Yoda Truck. Now I replace everything that moves when using the clutch. Good Luck!! Brant (in reply to zeke) Post #: 2

Wound up taking it to a local garage and the mechanic was nice enough to show me my mistake. Sorry, clutches are not my strong point. Good luck, Brant (in reply to zeke) Post #: 4

If it is still slipping however, then there is something else that is bad. (in reply to zeke) Post #: 7
