A buyer's guide to used Mercedes-Benz CLK clutch
No two clutchs are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does a Mercedes CLK even have a clutch – I thought it was automatic?
The CLK was offered with both manual and automatic gearboxes, so whether your car has a clutch depends entirely on which 'box it has. Manual CLKs do have a conventional clutch assembly, but if your car has the five-speed automatic or the later seven-speed 7G-Tronic, there is no conventional clutch pedal or clutch plate – those gearboxes use a torque converter instead. Check your V5 or look at the gearbox code to confirm which you have before sourcing any parts.
What are the CLK generations and does the clutch differ between them?
The CLK ran across two main generations: the W208 from 1997 to 2002, and the W209 from 2002 to 2009 (with a facelift around 2005). Clutch components follow the engine code rather than the generation badge, so a W208 220 CDI and a W209 220 CDI running the same engine code could share clutch components, but you should never assume that without confirming against your specific registration with the breaker. The generational body change does not in itself affect which clutch fits, but differences in engine tune or ancillary mounting mid-production can matter, so always supply your engine code.
Will a CLK clutch from a pre-facelift W209 (2002–2005) fit a post-facelift W209 (2005–2009)?
Both sit within the same W209 generation, so for a given engine code the clutch kit itself is often the same across that 2002–2009 span, including the 2005 facelift. That said, ancillary components and mounting arrangements can change mid-production in ways that are hard to pin down without cross-referencing your exact registration, so confirm the interchange with the breaker before buying. Supply your full engine code and registration to give the breaker the best chance of matching it correctly.
Does it matter whether my CLK is an Avantgarde, Elegance, or AMG – will they all take the same clutch?
Trim level makes no difference to clutch fitment – the clutch is determined by your engine code and gearbox type, not whether the car is an Elegance, Avantgarde, or Sport trim. A CLK 200 Kompressor Avantgarde and a CLK 200 Kompressor Elegance with the same engine code will use the same clutch. Bear in mind that AMG variants (such as the CLK 55 AMG or CLK 63 AMG) typically had different engines and may have uprated drivetrain components, so treat those as a separate engine-code lookup.
I have a CLK 220 CDI – what details should I give the breaker to make sure I get the right clutch?
The most important detail is your engine code, which you can find on your V5 logbook or by running a VIN check – for the 220 CDI this is typically the OM611 or OM646 family depending on year, but confirm yours rather than assuming. You should also tell the breaker the year of manufacture and confirm it is a manual gearbox, since an automatic CDI will not have a clutch plate at all. With the engine code and registration in hand, a good breaker can cross-reference the exact flywheel type (single or dual-mass) and clutch kit required, which can vary even within the same engine family.
Can I use a CLK clutch from a petrol model on my diesel CLK, or vice versa?
Petrol and diesel CLK variants have different engines and in most cases different flywheel and clutch specifications, so you cannot simply swap clutch components between fuel types even if the cars look identical from the outside. Fuel type is one of the key fitment factors alongside the engine code, so always specify both when asking a breaker for a quote. Supplying your exact engine code removes any ambiguity and is far more reliable than going by fuel type or badge alone.
