Detailed Description
LuK has extensive experience in hydraulic clutch release systems, and this LMC388 clutch master cylinder reflects that background in a direct replacement format. It is intended for Kia Sportage manual transmission applications from 1998 through 2002 and is supplied as a new part without a clutch slave cylinder. The LMC388 is a practical choice when the original master cylinder is leaking, losing pressure, or no longer delivering a consistent pedal feel. This part cross-references Sachs (e.g., SH5239) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Soft or spongy clutch pedal feel
- Hydraulic fluid leakage at the master cylinder
- Difficulty disengaging the clutch
- Inconsistent clutch release on a Kia Sportage manual transmission
- Pedal travel problems caused by worn hydraulic components
Installation Notes
Install the LMC388 according to the included instructions and verify that the hydraulic line, push rod connection, and pedal linkage are in good condition before assembly. Because this unit is not pre-filled or pre-bled, the system must be filled and bled after installation to remove air from the hydraulic circuit. Confirm vehicle fitment for 1998-2002 Kia Sportage manual transmission applications before replacement.
Quality Assurance
LuK, part of Schaeffler, has long-standing expertise in clutch release systems and hydraulic clutch components. The LMC388 is a new replacement part built for direct service use on the specified Kia Sportage applications.
