What vehicles is this SACHS clutch kit compatible with?
This kit is designed for KIA and HYUNDAI models featuring 2.0D or 2.0 engines, including specific generations of KIA CARENS, MAGENTIS, Sportage, HYUNDAI SONATA, i30, and TUCSON. Always confirm compatibility using the vehicle fitment tool.
What parts are included in this 3-piece clutch kit?
The kit includes a clutch cover, a clutch plate, and a concentric slave cylinder (CSC), along with a packet of installation grease.
Can I install this clutch kit myself?
While possible for experienced DIY mechanics, clutch replacement is a complex job requiring specialized tools and knowledge. Professional installation by a qualified technician is highly recommended to ensure proper function and safety.
What is the diameter of this clutch?
The clutch diameter is 240mm.
What is a concentric slave cylinder (CSC)?
A CSC is an integrated hydraulic component that replaces the traditional external slave cylinder and clutch fork. It sits around the transmission input shaft and directly actuates the clutch release bearing.
Does this kit replace SACHS part number 3000990288?
Yes, this SACHS part number 3000 990 450 is a direct replacement for SACHS part number 3000990288.

Troubleshooting
Clutch pedal feels spongy or stays depressed
This often indicates an issue with the concentric slave cylinder (CSC) or the hydraulic system. Ensure the CSC was correctly installed and that the clutch fluid level is adequate and the system is properly bled.
Difficulty shifting gears after installation
Verify the clutch plate is installed in the correct orientation (the side marked "flywheel side" should face the flywheel). Ensure the CSC is properly seated and that the transmission is correctly aligned with the engine.
Clutch slips under acceleration
This can occur if the clutch plate is contaminated with grease or oil, or if the pressure plate is faulty. Ensure all mating surfaces were thoroughly cleaned before installation. If the issue persists, professional diagnosis is required.
Noisy clutch operation (e.g., rattling or grinding)
Check that the CSC is properly lubricated on its guide and that the clutch fork is functioning correctly. Rattling can sometimes be related to release bearing issues or components within the kit not being fully seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation of a clutch kit is a complex mechanical procedure typically requiring the removal of the transmission. It is strongly recommended that this kit be installed by a qualified mechanic. Ensure the flywheel surface is clean and free of debris or damage. Use the provided SACHS grease sparingly on the input shaft splines and CSC guide sleeve during assembly.
Compatibility: This SACHS clutch kit (3000 990 450) is designed for specific KIA and HYUNDAI models equipped with 2.0D or 2.0 engines. Compatible models include KIA CARENS Mk3, KIA MAGENTIS, HYUNDAI SONATA NF, HYUNDAI i30 (FD), KIA SPORTAGE, and HYUNDAI TUCSON JM. Always verify fitment using the vehicle compatibility tool or by consulting with a parts specialist before purchase.
Care: Once installed, the clutch system requires no specific user maintenance beyond normal driving practices. Avoid prolonged "riding" the clutch pedal, as this can accelerate wear on the clutch plate and CSC. Regular vehicle maintenance checks by a professional can identify potential issues early.
