Product Description
45822-3B250 Automatic Transmission Differential Carrier / Cup-Differential Case for Hyundai & Kia 4WD 6-Speed Transmission – 10-Hole, 47-Spline Precision Replacement
The 45822-3B250 Automatic Transmission Differential Carrier is officially referenced in Hyundai/Kia parts catalogs as a “Cup-Differential Case.” It is an internal transmission component used to support and locate the differential gear set inside compatible automatic transaxles. The part is associated mainly with 4WD/AWD 6-speed automatic transmission applications, and specialist transmission catalogs cross-reference it to A6MF1/A6LF-series applications. Hyundai/Kia EPC data also identifies 45822-3B250 as a direct differential-case component rather than an external transfer-case part.
For independent workshops, transmission rebuilders, wholesalers, and Hyundai/Kia spare-parts distributors, 45822-3B250 is suitable for replacing a worn, cracked, distorted, or spline-damaged differential housing. Its correct geometry is especially important because the carrier must keep the differential gears, bearings, and related drivetrain components correctly aligned while transmitting torque under acceleration, deceleration, and cornering loads.
The Hyundai 45822-3B250 Differential Carrier / Differential Case Cup forms the structural body around the internal differential gear set. When the vehicle turns, the left and right drive wheels need to rotate at different speeds; the differential mechanism makes this possible while continuing to transfer engine torque to the drive wheels. The carrier provides the rigid and accurately machined structure required for this process.
Technical references for 45822-3B250 list 10 mounting holes, 47 internal splines, approximately 133 mm overall height, 62.90 mm and 65.05 mm neck diameters, a 16.85 mm pinion/satellite shaft hole, and approximately 162.10 mm mounting-flange outer diameter. These dimensions make part-number verification especially important because visually similar Hyundai/Kia differential cases can have different drive layouts or internal dimensions.

OEM Reference 45822-3B250: Designed as a replacement for Hyundai/Kia Cup-Differential Case applications carrying this OE reference.
4WD/AWD Transmission Application: EPC and transmission references associate this version with 4WD automatic-transaxle configurations.
47-Spline Internal Design: Provides the required mechanical interface for compatible differential/transmission components.
10-Hole Mounting Pattern: Precision mounting geometry helps ensure correct installation and differential alignment.
Suitable for Transmission Rebuilding: Designed for repair of automatic transmissions affected by carrier, spline, bearing-seat, or differential housing damage.
Wholesale-Friendly Supply: Suitable for transmission workshops, Hyundai/Kia parts importers, distributors, repair chains, and regional wholesalers.

One separate Kia catalog database lists 19.10 lb for the same number, so actual net and packed weight should be confirmed with Kingmay before calculating international freight.
The primary purpose of the 45822-3B250 Differential Carrier is to provide a rigid and accurately located housing for the differential mechanism inside the automatic transmission.
Its key functions include:
Supporting the differential gears: Keeps the internal gears and related components correctly positioned.
Maintaining drivetrain alignment: Correct carrier geometry helps maintain proper bearing and gear alignment.
Transmitting drivetrain loads: Handles mechanical loads generated while torque is transferred through the transmission to the drive wheels.
Allowing different wheel speeds: Supports the differential mechanism that allows the inner and outer drive wheels to rotate at different speeds when the vehicle turns.
Supporting smooth 4WD/AWD operation: Proper carrier condition contributes to stable torque transmission with reduced vibration and abnormal drivetrain noise.
Protecting internal components: A structurally sound differential case reduces the risk of secondary damage to gears, splines, bearings, and shafts.
PartSouq's technical description likewise identifies the differential case cup as the structural part supporting the differential gears and helping distribute torque while allowing different wheel speeds during turns.
| Common Problem | Possible Cause | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding or whining noise | Bearing wear, damaged gear surfaces, carrier distortion | Inspect bearings, gear contact pattern, carrier seats and differential assembly |
| Clunking during acceleration | Excessive spline/backlash wear | Inspect 47-spline interface and related differential gears |
| Vibration under load | Carrier or bearing misalignment | Check differential carrier, bearing preload and transmission mounting |
| Damaged internal splines | Long-term wear or excessive drivetrain load | Replace carrier and inspect mating components |
| Cracked or distorted carrier | Impact, severe transmission damage or overload | Replace differential case; inspect gears and bearings before reassembly |
| Uneven gear wear | Incorrect bearing preload or misalignment | Measure bearing condition, backlash and carrier alignment |
| Transmission oil contamination | Metal debris caused by internal wear | Flush/clean transmission and replace damaged components |
| Replacement does not fit | Incorrect 2WD/4WD version or similar OE number | Verify 45822-3B250, VIN, transmission code, spline count and mounting pattern |
| Noise remains after replacement | Related bearing/gear damage not corrected | Inspect the complete differential assembly, not only the carrier |
For transmission rebuilding, Kingmay recommends matching the OE number with the VIN, chassis information, old-part photo, and transmission specification before shipment. Kingmay's website states that its parts-matching team supports VIN, chassis-number, photo, and OEM-number verification.
Installation should be carried out by a professional automatic-transmission technician. Before assembly, compare the replacement part with the removed unit and verify:
OE number 45822-3B250
10 mounting holes
47 internal splines
Neck diameters
Bearing-seat condition
Pinion/satellite shaft bore
4WD/AWD transmission configuration
Differential gears and bearings for abnormal wear
Replacing only the carrier while retaining severely damaged bearings, gears, or contaminated transmission fluid may result in premature failure.

Kingmay uses a factory-integrated sourcing model, coordinating manufacturing resources, supplier factories, quality control, packaging, and export logistics from Guangzhou. This gives buyers access to production-side pricing while reducing unnecessary intermediary layers. Kingmay's own company page specifically states that it is “not just” a reseller and coordinates manufacturing and quality-control resources under one sourcing system.
For buyers, this means:
More competitive wholesale pricing
Fewer unnecessary intermediary markups
Better access to production schedules
Easier specification communication
Centralized quality control
One supplier for multiple Hyundai/Kia product categories
Kingmay focuses on OEM-grade auto parts for Korean and Japanese vehicles, especially Hyundai and Kia applications. The company states that its parts are manufactured to match or exceed OE requirements for fit, form, and function and are supported by dimensional checks, traceability, and material certification options.
For 45822-3B250, this is particularly important because the differential housing depends on accurate:
Spline geometry
Bearing-seat dimensions
Mounting-hole locations
Shaft-hole dimensions
Overall concentricity and alignment
Kingmay operates primarily as a B2B wholesale supplier, and its published product pages state that export prices vary according to order quantity. Larger purchases therefore allow more competitive volume quotations.
For regular distributors:
More Quantity → Better Unit Price → Better Long-Term Cooperation Price
Customers maintaining repeat purchasing plans, mixed-container programs, or annual procurement schedules can request distributor-level pricing rather than single-order pricing.
