This guide explains the kit’s contents and the compatibility checks to make before purchasing.

Vehicle Applications to Check

Vehicle Model Years Engine Transmission Requirement
Hyundai Veloster 2013–2017, 2019–2021 1.6L turbo Compatible manual transmission

This table identifies applications to check. It does not guarantee compatibility with every trim or production configuration.

For 2018 Hyundai Elantra applications, the catalog specifies a production-date limit of June 12, 2018. Confirm your vehicle’s build date before ordering.

Manual Transmission or DCT: Check Before You Buy

This kit is for the specified manual transmission applications. It is not an automatic dual-clutch transmission repair kit.

A vehicle’s model name and engine size alone are not enough to select the correct clutch. Confirm the transmission fitted to your car, particularly when comparing listings for models offered with different transmission options.

Veloster N 2.0L applications and other engines are not covered by this listing.

What Should You Confirm Before Ordering?

Have these details ready:

  • Your vehicle’s VIN.

  • Model year and trim.

  • Engine specification.

  • Transmission identification.

  • Production date, where a catalog restriction applies.

  • Confirmation that LuK part number 05-188 matches your repair.

Contact SayParts with your vehicle details if you need assistance checking the application.

Does the Kit Include a Flywheel?

No. The LuK 05-188 kit does not include a flywheel.

Your installer should identify the flywheel fitted to your vehicle and inspect its condition using the applicable service procedures. The inspection determines whether additional work or replacement is required.

Discuss this before ordering so your repair shop can prepare all necessary components.

Diagnose the Problem Before Purchasing

Clutch slipping, difficulty shifting, or changes in pedal feel are reasons to have your vehicle inspected. These symptoms alone do not establish which part needs replacement.

Ask a qualified technician to inspect the clutch and hydraulic release system before buying parts. A diagnosis helps you choose components that address the actual repair requirements.

Is This Kit Suitable for a Modified Vehicle?

Do not assume that a replacement clutch kit offers increased torque capacity simply because it fits a turbocharged vehicle.

If your Hyundai or Kia has an ECU tune or other modifications, discuss clutch requirements with your installer. This listing does not claim an upgraded torque rating or suitability for every modified setup.

Installation Information

Professional installation is recommended.

Your installer should confirm compatibility, inspect the flywheel and related components, and follow the applicable installation and hydraulic bleeding procedures.

Review the kit contents and repair plan together before work begins.
