OE 97226-762 — Side Gear for Hyundai / Kia

Standard minimum order is 10 pieces per part number. Mixed orders that combine 97226-762 with other transmission & drivetrain references are welcome — that is how most clients fill an LCL or FCL container without over-stocking a single line.

Report it with the order number and packing-list line plus photographs. Because every carton is photographed before loading, we can trace the batch immediately and settle the claim against the inspection record instead of arguing from memory.

For a short distance at reduced load, usually yes — but the risk compounds. A degraded side gear transfers stress to neighbouring components, so a small repair can grow into a full transmission & drivetrain rebuild. Book the replacement once the symptom is repeatable.

The Related OE References table above lists the alternates we see most often in trade inquiries. Cross-references work because the engineering envelope is shared across the transmission & drivetrain family — always confirm dimensions and connector layout before you swap.

Build-year coverage is listed row by row in the Applications table above. Where several generations share one number, the newer rows usually carry a revised suffix — compare the last four characters before buying, since a suffix change often means a different connector or bracket.

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 97226-762; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.
