D7UF1 Dual Clutch Kit with Fork for Hyundai Veloster

The 7-speed dry dual-clutch box behind the Gamma 1.6L in the 2012-2017 Veloster is the D7UF1. Unlike a wet DCT, there is no fluid cooling the clutch discs - they run dry, and heat from repeated launches, stop-and-go traffic and hill starts is what kills them. The usual complaint is a shudder or judder pulling away from a stop, a burning smell after traffic, slipping under load in 1st or 2nd, or the car dropping into a limp mode with clutch position and touch point codes stored in the TCM. By the time the clutch is that far gone the release fork bushings are usually worn too, which is why replacing the clutch pack alone often brings the judder right back.

This kit is the complete dual-clutch assembly plus the transmission release fork, so both halves of the wear pair go in together. It replaces Hyundai part numbers 41200-2A001, 412002A000 and 412002A001 for the clutch assembly and 41470-2A000 for the fork, covering Veloster 2012-2017 with the L4 1.6L engine. The assembly ships as a balanced unit - inner and outer clutch discs, pressure plates and the carrier - so it drops onto the input shafts as one piece rather than being stacked on the bench.

On the bench: the transmission has to come out, and the two electric clutch actuators come off the case before the clutch assembly will clear the input shafts. Pull the actuators square with the proper puller - prying at them cracks the actuator housing. Check the input shaft splines for fretting and the shaft seals for leakage while you are in there, since ATF or engine oil on a dry clutch face will make a brand new pack judder immediately. After reassembly the TCM has to run clutch touch point adaptation and a relearn with a scan tool, or the car will creep, buck or refuse to engage properly on the first drive.
