2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Clutch Kit — Purpose, Fitment and Service Advice
Based on technical references including the Mitsubishi Lancer CH/CG service manual (covering 2002–2007 models) and major clutch catalogues from Exedy and ACS/ClutchPro, a clutch kit is relevant and used on 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer models equipped with the 5‑speed manual gearbox. These manuals specify a conventional single dry-plate clutch with a pressure plate and release bearing. Note: automatic Lancers of the same year use a torque converter and do not use a clutch kit.
For a 2006 Lancer with a manual transmission, the clutch kit’s job is simple but vital: connect engine power smoothly to the gearbox and let the driver shift gears without crunches. A quality kit typically includes a new friction disc, pressure plate, release (throw-out) bearing, and often an alignment tool. Fitting the lot together ensures even clamping force, crisp engagement, and quiet operation.
Over time, the friction material wears, springs lose tension, and bearings can get noisy. When that happens, the car might feel sluggish off the line, revs may flare between gear changes, or there could be shudder taking off. Because the 2006 Lancer uses a hydraulic clutch actuation system, there’s no cable to adjust away wear
