Replying to: bkirbey (Feb 01, 2009 1:15 pm) ..my brother in law had his clutch changed recently..was a Dodge Dakota...and had no fire after. A wire had been pinched when reinstalling clutch bellhousing. YOu have the crank position sensor mounted on the bell housing: essential for fire and fuel. Check for connection, damage, wire routing.

#45 of 59 2000 kia sportage owners manual by JustCamping Feb 04, 2009 (9:50 am)
Does anyone have an owners manual to a 2000 kia sportage - 5speed 4 w/d so we can find out i we can flat tow it behind a motor home.   KIA called and told us they don't recommend it - but we've gotten at least 5 yes's with different ways to do it. Do not have a manual to look at though. Replies to this message: lmp4 (Feb 04, 2009 10:20 am) JustCamping (Feb 05, 2009 8:09 am)

Replying to: JustCamping (Feb 04, 2009 9:50 am) With an automatic, there is indeed a "potential" problem because there is no transfer case OFF (N) position (in fact there is a neutral position, but without a click stop, so this is an unstable condition)..which means the output shaft of the transmission and clutches would rotate with the rear wheels, a risk of cooking the trasnmission clutches.   But with the 5 speed manual, you have an OFF position on the T-case ; once in OFF (N), nothing comes ahead of the T-case output shaft and there is positively no problem towing the Sporty behind, and nothing mechanically speaking would justify the opposite.   INdeed the owners manual has a "overall" recommandation telling not to tow with the rear wheels turning, but they do not specify the transmisison type; later they say it can be towed with t-case in N (for the manual)...or 2H for the AUTO, with transmission in N...and they add "for a short distance", but this is as simplistic as one can imagine and is justified for the AUTO transmission, not the 5 speed. They just want to save their head, "just in case"....   THose with an automatic transmission either remove the rear driving shaft.....or tow at low speed, stopping from time to time (say every 30 min) to start the engine and circulate transmission fluid to keep the clutches lubricated.   The subject has been debated a dozen times in other forums too.   HERE is an example Replies to this message: JustCamping (Feb 05, 2009 8:09 am)
