Used Hyundai ix35 Clutch

Only some ix35s have a clutch - it depends entirely on the gearbox type. Manual-gearbox ix35s have a conventional clutch assembly, but ix35s fitted with the six-speed automatic gearbox do not use a clutch in the traditional sense and this part will not apply to them. Check your V5 or a VIN check to confirm whether your ix35 is manual or automatic before searching.

The Hyundai ix35 ran from 2010 to 2015 in the UK as a single generation, with a facelift arriving around 2013, so a 2012 and a 2015 car sit either side of that facelift boundary. Engine code is the most important factor here - if both cars share the same engine code the clutch is more likely to be compatible, but whether ancillary components changed across the 2013 facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration. Always supply your engine code when requesting a quote.

Yes, significantly - a diesel ix35 and a petrol ix35 will use different clutch kits even in the same year, and within the diesel range the 1.7 CRDi and 2.0 CRDi engines have different clutch specifications. The engine code printed on your V5 is the single most useful detail you can give a breaker, as it removes any ambiguity about which clutch assembly is correct for your car. Never rely on fuel type or badge alone.

Trim level does not affect clutch fitment on the ix35 - a S, Premium, Style or any other trim variant with the same engine code and manual gearbox will use the same clutch assembly. Trim affects interior specification, equipment levels and cosmetic details, none of which have any bearing on the mechanical clutch. Stick to engine code and gearbox type when sourcing from a breaker.

The clutch itself is located between the engine and gearbox regardless of whether the ix35 is 2WD or 4WD, so drivetrain layout is less critical to clutch fitment than engine code and gearbox type. That said, it is worth mentioning to the breaker whether your car is 2WD or 4WD when requesting a quote, as there can be differences in associated components. Your engine code remains the priority detail to supply.

The first-generation Tucson and the ix35 share significant mechanical underpinnings, and some clutch components may well interchange where engine codes match, but this is not guaranteed across all variants and model years. Supply your engine code to the breaker and ask them to check the Tucson donor part against your specific code rather than assuming compatibility by badge. A good breaker will be able to cross-reference this for you.
