Parts for your 2022 Suzuki Splash-Clutch kit

Is a clutch kit relevant to a 2022 Suzuki Splash?

A clutch-kit is not applicable to a 2022 Suzuki Splash. The Splash was not produced in 2022, production ran roughly from 2008 to 2014 in Europe, with later run-out as the Maruti Ritz in India to around 2016. Technical references including Suzuki service information, Autodata/Haynes specifications, and major OE-equivalent parts catalogues (Exedy, ZF Sachs, Valeo) list clutch kits only for 2008–2014 Splash manual transmissions. The Splash range was offered with a 5-speed manual (which uses a conventional single-plate clutch) or a 4-speed automatic (which uses a torque converter and does not use a clutch kit). If a vehicle is described as a “2022 Suzuki Splash”, it’s typically an earlier model that’s been registered or imported later, or a catalogue mislabel.

Why a clutch-kit isn’t used on a “2022” Splash comes down to two points: first, there wasn’t a 2022 model-year Splash from Suzuki, second, automatic Splash variants don’t have a serviceable clutch assembly. Owners in Australia or New Zealand seeing a 2022 listing should match parts to the actual build year/VIN and gearbox type. If the car is indeed a Splash with a 5-speed manual from the 2008–2014 era, then a clutch kit is the right part family, if it’s an automatic, a clutch kit isn’t relevant at all.

For those with an earlier, manual Splash, a clutch kit generally includes the friction disc, pressure plate and release bearing (sometimes a concentric slave cylinder). There’s no fixed replacement interval, it’s done on condition—signs include slipping under load, shudder on take-off, a high bite point, or noisy release bearing. Best practice when the gearbox is out is to replace the full kit, inspect the flywheel face, renew fasteners where specified, and check the release mechanism and hydraulics/cable as fitted. Choosing the kit by VIN/engine (e.g., 1.0 or 1.2) and gearbox code avoids mismatches.

FAQs

Does a 2022 Suzuki Splash exist in Australia or New Zealand?
Officially, no. The Splash wasn’t produced in 2022. Any “2022” listing is usually an older car first registered later, an import, or a catalogue error. Always check the compliance/build plate and VIN.

Which Splash models actually use a clutch kit?
Only the 5-speed manual Splash (circa 2008–2014) uses a clutch kit. The 4-speed automatic version uses a torque converter and doesn’t require or accept a clutch kit.

How can someone confirm the correct clutch kit for their Splash?
Match parts using the VIN, engine code (1.0 or 1.2), and gearbox type. If manual, a kit with disc, pressure plate and release bearing is typical, if the vehicle is automatic, a clutch kit isn’t applicable.
