btw the dents on the bushing were done by the clutch disc because it had to go through it to pull the transmission out

 

mis parler du français désolé

but hope it works! i might be changing mine soon!

what stage kit do you have?

 

stage IV ..
what i suggest to people : throw that bushing away and put the oem bearing .. that's what should come with the kit

 

Lucky for me I didn't want to install the brass bushing and just added the factory bushing without any problems.

+1 for me on my quick judgement lol

 

if i knew i could use the oem ...
the guy told me that the bearing couldn't be removed from the oem flywheel

but anyway .. the bushing came in the kit .. it's supposed to work with it

 

subcribed... stage 4 is what ill prob be getting.

david how does the pedal feel?

 

it's quite a bit stiffer than the stock clutch but you get used to it quick .. then you try others people car and have trouble driving their car correctly since the pedal gets floored so easily lol

 

it you're shooting for big numbers take stage IV vut i guess under 450-475wtq the stage 3 is more than enough .. stage 4 is a bit overkill .. but still quite easy to drive .. but if i had to do it all again i would go with stage 3 .. enough for 99.95% people here

the only downside is that stupid bushing .. ive paid nearly 400$ too much for my install because of that ..
today it took a hair over 2.5 hours to re-do everything correctly and they had to mess with bolts to pull the tranny out .. other than that it would have been a 1.5-1.75 hour job .. like 150-160$ max .. the guy that did the install is freakin awesome.. the first time they replaced the transmission for mi grind problem it took 1hour including bleeding the clutch and test drive ..

 

Have you changed the flywheel as well or using the oem ?

 

im using the competition clutch flywheel .. stock one is POS

 

ok so stock brass bushing did the job with some loctite

 

no .. stock bearing from oem flywheel ..and you shouldn't need to use loctite normally

 

Sucks this happened like it did, but thanks for letting us know about it.

 

The brass bushing in my kit was too tight when the tech test fitted it on the input shaft BEFORE putting it in the Flywheel, even more so after being pressed in there, so he gently honed it out until the fit was barely tight, but with no play.

But What I don't get is how they were able to install your tranny in there in the first place, because of the nature of the bushing material, it should normally have eaten away at the bushing and somewhat lubricate the joint at the same time...Not seize on there and spin inside the flywheel....

 

My CC stage 2 didn't come with that pilot bearing..... Mine was already pressed in and it was not brass. IIRC it looked like an actual bearing more than a bushing, as seen above. I will have to see if I can dig up some pics..... Whats the deal here..... I have mad tranny chatter/vibrations at idle. :squint:

 

You got the newer kit which Competition was able to finally get the pilot
bearing similar to stock, both work fine but if the brass is pressed in,
incorrectly it's to tight and requires it to be honed out a bit, and as with any
clutch/flywheel install you should always test fit everything.

+1.....

BTW, for those of you who have damaged the OEM aluminum pilot bearing or have already disposed of it & are in need of one, hit Tim@BeyondRedline up. He has finally been able to locate replacements to match the OEM units at very good price & I ordered 3 for myself just have a couple on backup. I will use a vernier caliper to confirm the dimensions prior to install for those that are interested.

BTW, I exhausted every resource I had at my disposal trying to locate one of these with no luck as it seems Hyundai has some sorta lock on them & no one would disclose how to get one w/o purchasing the OEM Hyundai POS DMF.

Or contact Competition Clutch directly and get the OEM like bearing for free, call and ask for Dan at competition

Exactly how it should be done for anyone who had the brass bearing/bushing.

Again contact Competition Clutch if you have the brass bearing and have/had
issues with it and Competition Clutch will get you the needle pilot bearing that
is similar to OEM one.

 

Oooooohhhhh yea. I think we already had this discussion. Sorry man my memory is not so great these days...

 

thats what happens when ur sniffing race gas all day! LOL

 

Wish I would have seen this before I put my clutch in.

And DavidP is banned?

 

+1 for this
