Re: uh oh, 2001 elantra clutch fluid
You'll need to adjust the pedal free play. Basically, what you're looking
for is that the pedal moves in and out slightly before activating the
master cylinder. Use the pedal free play before you remove the old part
as a guide as to how you should adjust the new cylinder.

Re: uh oh, 2001 elantra clutch fluid
Just wanted to take a minute to thank those who helped out.
Did the repair a couple weekends ago, from the moment I popped the hood,
till I finished bleeding the system and tested it's operation, (and adjusted
the free play 'til it felt just like the old one) it was under an hour.
much appreciated,
Andre
