no its not in the picture.
it will be a piece of aluminium or steel material that is the size of the circle in the middle of the pressure plate, and roughly about a half inch tall.
but i dont see it in the picture

Pff, i went to the dealer to get a TOB when i thought mine was broke, cost me more than $45 from the dealer and when i installed it (properly), i pushed the clutch in and heard a loud bang.
took it all back apart and found out that one of the arms broke off the TOB, the dealer refused to give me a new one so i took the old one (which wasnt broke, i just didn't install it right the first time) and installed it and it worked just fine
Dealer is NOT your friend.

I like my dealer, and he's never steered me wrong. You can't go wrong with OEM Hyundai quality. Also, because I'm military I just tell them I'm doing the work at the autocraft shop on post and they give me a discount. Dealers are good.

No its not snapped in there, thats just the ring.
lol, "you cant go wrong with OEM quality"
i went wrong with OEM quality, as posted above your post.
Sure it could have been a odd-ball bad luck defective TOB, but the dealer should have refunded or replaced it, but they refused, which is why i was saying they aren't your friend; they overcharge and dont stand by the product if it defects. Since both the dealer and the aftermarket TOB's come from the same company, so there is no reason to overpay.
(i know i didn't install it wrong because i did it the same way with the one that came with my clutch and it worked fine)
