Hyundai Repair: manual transmission, clutch slave cylinder, transaxle system


Question
my transmission went out in my 1996 hyundai accent.  It was hard to shift and then it made a noise and then didnt shift at all.  Put brake fluid in it but noticed that when you stepped on the clutch it was squirting out by the clutch slave cylinder.  Got a new to replace the one, the pin was bent and it popped the seal or something.  Well after that the rod or whatever its called that comes out of the transmission area, doesnt look like it should be in the position it is currently in.  I think something gave in the clutch area that made that pin bend and pop the clydinder out.  How hard is to get into the transmission to see what else might be the problem with the clutch area?  Is this something my husband could do or a professional needs to accomplish.  Do you know of any website that would have a diagram of that area in the 1996 hyundai accent so he knows what he would be up against?  

Answer
The only way you can see whats wrong is take the trans out an take it apart an also then you can see if the clutch is ok.
