Replacing the clutch with a Kia Cid takes 3 to 8 hours. Replacing the Kia Ceed clutch is done only with the removal / installation of the gearbox. On some models, the subframe must be removed to remove the box. It is best to determine what exactly to change: a disc, basket or release bearing, after the box has been removed.
The decision to replace the clutch with a Kia Ceed must be made after diagnostics at a car service. Some of the symptoms may be similar to a malfunctioning transmission or gear shifting mechanism. On robotic boxes (robot, isitronic, etc.), after replacing the clutch, it will be necessary to adapt the gripping point. This can be done at our stations.
The cost of replacing the clutch on the Kia Sid:
If you notice that the clutch begins to behave differently than before, we recommend that you immediately contact a car service for diagnostics. If you start this moment, then later, in addition to replacing the clutch with the Kia Sid, you will also have to replace the flywheel. And the cost of a flywheel is several times higher than the cost of a clutch kit.
When replacing the clutch, we also recommend replacing the rear crankshaft oil seal and replacing the axle shaft oil seals. When replacing a clutch, a good technician will always pay attention to the condition of the gear selector oil seal. The cost of oil seals is minimal and it is better to do everything at once, without overpaying for the same work in the future.
The cost of replacing the Kia Sid clutch depends on the need to remove the subframe and remove the box. It happens that people try to replace the clutch on their own, they fail and they bring a half-disassembled car to us.
The main signs of a faulty clutch:
- increased noise when engaging and disengaging the clutch;
- incomplete engagement of the clutch (the clutch "slips");
- incomplete disengagement of the clutch (the clutch "leads");
- jerks during clutch operation.

HELPFUL ADVICE
If the clutch fails, we recommend replacing all its elements at the same time (driven and pressure discs, clutch release bearing); The work of replacing the clutch is laborious, and the service life of undamaged clutch elements has already been reduced, therefore, if they are installed again, it may be necessary to replace the clutch again after a relatively small mileage.
You will need: a “12” wrench (a socket head is more convenient), a mounting blade, a mandrel for centering the driven disk.
1. Remove the gearbox
2. If you are going to install the old pressure plate, mark in any way (for example, paint) the relative position of the disc casing and the flywheel to set the pressure plate to its original position (to maintain balance).
3. While holding the flywheel with a mounting blade (or a large screwdriver) from turning, remove the six bolts securing the clutch pressure plate cover to the flywheel (for clarity, the photo was taken with the removed engine). Loosen the tightening of the bolts evenly: each bolt two turns of the wrench, going from bolt to bolt in diameter
NOTE
On a petrol engine, the clutch pressure plate is attached to the flywheel with six bolts, and on a diesel engine it is attached with nine bolts.
4. Remove the clutch and clutch discs from the flywheel while holding the clutch disc.
5. Inspect the clutch disc. Cracks on the parts of the driven disc are not allowed.
6. Check the degree of wear of the friction linings.
7. If the rivet heads are recessed less than 0.3 mm, the surface of the friction linings is oiled or the rivet joints are loose, then the driven disc must be replaced.
If the lining of the driven disk is oiled, then the cause may be wear of the oil seal of the input shaft of the gearbox. It may need to be replaced.
8. Check the reliability of fixing the damper springs in the seats of the driven disc hub, trying to move them in the seats of the hub by hand. If the springs move easily in their seats or are broken, replace the disc.
9. Check the runout of the driven disc if it is warped on visual inspection. If the runout is greater than 0.5 mm, replace the disc
10. Inspect the flywheel friction surfaces ...
11. ... and pressure plate, paying attention to the absence of deep scratches, scoring, nicks, obvious signs of wear and overheating, Replace defective components.
12. If the riveted joints of the casing parts and the pressure plate are loosened, replace the pressure plate assembly.
13. By visual inspection, assess the condition of the diaphragm spring of the pressure plate. No cracks in the diaphragm spring are allowed. Places And the contact of the spring petals with the clutch release bearing should be in the same plane and have no obvious signs of wear (wear should not be more than 0.8 mm). Otherwise, replace the pressure plate assembly.
14. Inspect the casing and disc couplings. If the links are deformed or broken, replace the pressure plate assembly.
16. ... and the inner side of the spring. The rings must be free of cracks and signs of wear. Otherwise, replace the pressure plate assembly.
17. Before installing the clutch, check the ease of movement of the driven disc along the splines of the input shaft of the gearbox. Eliminate the cause of binding or replace defective parts as necessary.
18 Apply a high-melting grease to the splines of the driven disc hub.
19. When installing the clutch, first use a mandrel to install the driven disc, and then the casing with the pressure disc, aligning the marks applied before removing, and screw the casing bolts to the flywheel,
NOTE
Install the driven disc so that the protruding part of the disc hub is directed towards the diaphragm spring of the clutch cover.
20. Tighten the bolts evenly, but one turn of the wrench each, alternately, as shown in the photo.
21. Remove the mandrel and install the transmission.
22. Check the clutch operation
