Luk LFW252 Clutch Flywheel

LuK LFW252 Clutch Flywheel Overview

The LuK LFW252 clutch flywheel is a direct-fit replacement for select Kia applications, including 2000-2004 Kia Spectra and 1998-2001 Kia Sephia. It is engineered to provide the smooth, flat clutch contact surface needed for consistent clutch engagement and release.

For clutch service on Kia Spectra and Kia Sephia models, replacing the flywheel during clutch work can be a practical alternative to resurfacing when a new OE-spec component is preferred.

Detailed Description

The LuK LFW252 clutch flywheel is built for vehicles that require a precise clutch mating surface and OE-style fitment. Its dimensions and 112-tooth design support proper alignment and engagement in the clutch system, making it a strong choice for clutch replacement on 2000-2004 Kia Spectra and 1998-2001 Kia Sephia models. This part cross-references ACI 88252 for the same application.

As a new flywheel rather than a resurfaced unit, the LFW252 provides a fresh contact surface and OE-spec construction for service work where consistency matters. The LuK LFW252 is a direct replacement option for Kia Spectra and Kia Sephia clutch service when the original flywheel is worn, heat-checked, or no longer within service limits.

What It Helps Address

• Clutch chatter caused by an uneven flywheel surface
• Poor clutch engagement from heat spots or scoring
• Vibration during clutch take-up related to flywheel wear
• Repeat clutch service when the flywheel is not suitable for resurfacing
• Alignment concerns during clutch replacement on Kia Spectra and Kia Sephia applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the clutch assembly, pilot components, and release system before installation. Confirm flywheel diameter, inner diameter, step height, and tooth count against the original part before assembly. For best results, install the flywheel as part of a complete clutch service on the applicable Kia Spectra or Kia Sephia model years.

Quality Assurance

LuK manufactures this flywheel to OE specifications with new components, including the ring gear and dowel pins, to support accurate fit and dependable clutch operation.
