MITSUBISHI Clutch Release Bearing

self-centering pre-greased -40°C to +150°C

The MITSUBISHI clutch release bearing is a precision-engineered component designed for hydraulic clutch actuation systems in Mitsubishi passenger and light commercial vehicles. Manufactured from case-hardened chromium steel, the bearing features a self-centering spherical contact face that maintains constant alignment with the diaphragm spring fingers during pedal travel. The unit is pre-greased and sealed with a high-temperature nitrile rubber lip seal, ensuring protection against clutch dust and thermal degradation. Designed to operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C, this bearing provides reliable disengagement performance for the entire service life of the clutch assembly. Compatible with both concentric slave cylinder (CSC) and fork-actuated configurations, the MITSUBISHI release bearing meets OEM specifications for models including Lancer, Outlander, Pajero, Triton, and Eclipse Cross.

Self-centering design

Spherical contact geometry automatically aligns with the pressure plate diaphragm spring, eliminating edge loading and uneven wear.

Dust & heat resistant

Integral sealing system with dual-lip NBR construction prevents contamination from clutch debris and withstands high thermal loads.

Pre-lubricated

Factory-filled with high-temperature lithium complex grease, tested to withstand over 100,000 engagement cycles in real-world conditions.

OEM compatibility

Designed to meet Mitsubishi factory specifications for Lancer, Outlander, Pajero, Triton, Eclipse Cross, and other popular models.

Common technical inquiries

How to diagnose a failing MITSUBISHI clutch release bearing?

Listen for a chirping or grinding noise when the clutch pedal is partially depressed. Increased pedal vibration or difficulty engaging gears also indicates bearing wear. Measure axial play — if it exceeds 1.2 mm, replacement is recommended. For hydraulic CSC systems, inspect for fluid leaks around the slave cylinder.

Can this bearing be used with dual-mass flywheel (DMF) systems?

Yes. The MITSUBISHI release bearing is validated for DMF applications up to 0.8 mm axial oscillation. Ensure the clutch slave cylinder is in good condition to maintain correct hydraulic pressure. For DMF-equipped vehicles, always replace the bearing with the clutch kit.

What is the recommended torque for the fork pivot bolt?

Apply 25 Nm to the release fork pivot bolt for most Mitsubishi models. Use a thread-locking compound and ensure the guide tube is greased with Molykote G-n Plus prior to installation. For CSC systems, torque the hydraulic line fitting to 18 Nm.

Is it necessary to replace the bearing with the clutch kit?

Yes, it is standard practice. Reusing a release bearing with a new pressure plate can cause uneven wear patterns and reduce service life by 40-60%. Always replace the bearing when servicing the clutch. For Mitsubishi vehicles, the bearing and clutch kit are designed as a matched set.

Installation

Apply force only to the outer ring during mounting. Use an appropriate press sleeve — never strike the bearing directly. For CSC systems, verify the hydraulic line is free of air.

Cleanliness

Keep the guide tube and fork contacts clean. Contamination can lead to premature seal wear and bearing seizure. Use brake cleaner on the bell housing before installation.

Hydraulic system bleed

After installation, bleed the hydraulic system thoroughly. Air in the system can cause incomplete disengagement and excessive bearing load. Use Mitsubishi-specified brake fluid.

Storage

Store in original VCI packaging in a dry area with stable temperature. Avoid exposure to brake fluid or solvent vapors. Do not open packaging until ready to install.
