Sachs Clutch Kit 2290 601 009

A clutch kit is only as good as the tolerances it’s built to. The Sachs 2290 601 009 matches original equipment specifications, giving you a clutch replacement kit designed to restore smooth pedal feel and clean gear engagement.

Key Benefits

What stands out about this particular kit:

• Matches OE diameter and tooth-count specifications for correct flywheel and pressure-plate alignment
• Single part-number kit that bundles the components that wear together, cutting down on repeat labor and comeback repairs
• Sourced from Sachs, an established name in clutch and drivetrain components

What’s In The Box

• Brand: Sachs
• Part / Model Number: 2290 601 009
• EAN/Barcode: 4013872719334
• Model: ZMS Modul XTend plus CSC

Because clutch kits are matched to exact drivetrain tolerances, always verify fitment using the EAN/barcode or part number above rather than the vehicle make and model alone — the same car can ship from the factory with more than one clutch specification depending on engine, transmission, and production year. If you’re cross-shopping, our full clutch kit selection lets you compare diameter, tooth count, and hub profile side by side before you commit to a part number.

Application & Use Case

This kit is intended as a direct replacement for a worn clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing on vehicles using a conventional single-mass flywheel. It’s the standard choice when the flywheel itself is still within specification and only the wear components need to be replaced. For general background, see how a clutch assembly works.

Typical symptoms that point to needing this kit include slipping under load or acceleration, a burning smell after hard driving, a spongy or vibrating clutch pedal, difficulty selecting gears, or a pedal that no longer engages at a consistent point. If you’re seeing these symptoms, confirm the 2290 601 009 matches your vehicle’s original part number before ordering — clutch kits are vehicle- and engine-specific, and an incorrect diameter or tooth count will not install correctly.

Installation Overview

A clutch kit replacement is a transmission-out job on nearly every vehicle: the drivetrain is disconnected, the transmission is removed to expose the clutch assembly, the old disc, pressure plate and release bearing come out as a set, and the new 2290 601 009 components go in following the torque sequence and alignment procedure in your vehicle’s factory service manual. A clutch alignment tool is used to center the new disc on the flywheel before the pressure plate is torqued down, and the release bearing is inspected and replaced as part of the same job. Because this work involves the transmission, drivetrain, and in some cases the hydraulic release system, it’s worth budgeting real shop time for it rather than treating it as a quick swap — rushing clutch alignment is one of the more common causes of a comeback repair.

Quality & Manufacturing Standards

Component suppliers in this category — Sachs included — typically manufacture under IATF 16949-aligned quality systems, the automotive industry’s standard for consistent, defect-controlled production. That’s the same quality framework used across most OE-grade component lines, not a claim unique to any one part number. Sachs is a clutch and damping technology brand with roots dating back to 1895, now part of the ZF Friedrichshafen group, and is a long-standing original-equipment supplier to major European and Asian automakers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit include the flywheel?

That depends on the specific kit — check the specifications list above. Some kits in this range are conversion or full-pack kits that include a flywheel, while others are friction-and-pressure-plate kits designed to pair with your existing flywheel if it’s still within spec.

What’s included with the central slave cylinder (CSC) version?

Kits listed with a central/concentric slave cylinder include the full hydraulic release-bearing assembly, so you’re replacing the hydraulic component along with the friction parts rather than reusing a worn original.

How long does shipping take?

See our shipping policy for current delivery timing. We ship to all 50 US states.

What’s your return and warranty policy?

Full terms are posted on our warranty policy page. If a part arrives damaged or doesn’t match your order, contact our team and we’ll help sort out a replacement or return.

Can I install this clutch kit myself?

Clutch replacement requires dropping the transmission and, on most vehicles, involves specific alignment tools and torque specifications. It’s a job many DIYers with transmission-removal experience can handle, but if you’re not comfortable pulling a transmission, it’s generally best left to a qualified mechanic.

Will this kit work with a lightweight or performance flywheel?

This kit is specified to OE-equivalent dimensions. If your vehicle has an aftermarket flywheel installed, confirm the diameter, tooth count, and hub profile match this kit’s listed specifications rather than assuming compatibility.

Does the kit come with installation hardware?

Any mounting hardware included with the kit (screws, tools, bearings) is listed in the specifications section above. We recommend following your vehicle’s factory service manual for torque specs and installation sequence, since these vary by make and model.

Is a core exchange required on this part?

No core exchange is required — this clutch kit ships as a standalone replacement unit.

What makes this clutch kit different from buying individual components separately?

Buying the full kit means every part that wears at a similar rate gets replaced in the same service visit — disc, pressure plate, release bearing, and any flywheel or slave-cylinder components included with this specific kit. That avoids a comeback repair a few months later when an untouched worn part takes the new components down with it.

What does “2290 601 009” mean on the box?

That’s the Sachs part number for this exact kit — 2290 601 009. Use it to cross-reference against your old part or your vehicle’s parts catalog to confirm you’re ordering the correct kit.
