Detailed Description

Built for manual transmission service, the Sachs SH5164 helps transfer pedal input into hydraulic pressure for clutch release. It is listed across a broad range of Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, R32, Cabrio, and Audi TT fitments from 1995 through 2010, including applications noted for Sachs DMF, LuK DMF, and solid flywheel setups. Verify the exact vehicle notes before ordering, especially on 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf and Jetta, 2000-2006 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2000-2006 Audi TT Quattro applications. The SH5164 part number is also referenced by 1J1 721 388 C and 1J1 721 388 E for the same application family.

What It Helps Solve
