Parts for your 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander-Pedal pads

2007 Mitsubishi Outlander pedal pads — what they do and when to replace them

Pedal pads are absolutely used on the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. Technical references including the Mitsubishi Outlander (CW) Workshop Manual (Group 35A: Brake Control) and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue for CW4W/CW5W models identify a replaceable rubber pad on the brake pedal, with a similar pad on the clutch pedal for manual-transmission vehicles. The accelerator on most Outlanders is a moulded plastic/metal tread and typically isn’t a removable pad. These listings confirm pedal pads are standard, serviceable items on the 2007 model.

On a 2007 Outlander, the pedal pad’s whole job is grip and comfort. The rubber surface gives the driver a sure-footed feel so the shoe doesn’t slip off the brake or clutch, even when it’s wet. Over time, the rubber hardens, smooths off, or cracks, which reduces traction. That’s a safety issue and can also affect WOF (NZ) or roadworthy (AU) inspections, where worn or slippery pedal rubbers are a common fail.

For servicing your 2007 Outlander’s pedal pads, a quick visual and feel check is the go. Look for glazing (shiny smooth surface), tears, chunks missing, or a pad that’s starting to walk off the metal pedal. If the face is slick or the pad shifts underfoot, replace it straight away. Most drivers will want to inspect them at least every 12 months or 10,000–15,000 kilometres, and more often if the vehicle sees muddy, sandy, or wet use.

• Replacement is simple: carefully peel the old pad off the pedal plate, warm the new pad in hot water to make it more flexible, press the lower edge over the pedal, then roll it on until the lip fully captures the metal plate on all sides. Don’t use oils or silicone sprays — they can make the pad slippery and may degrade the rubber.
• Choose quality pads (genuine or reputable aftermarket) that match the CW-series Outlander and your transmission type. The brake pad differs from the clutch pad, and automatic models won’t have a clutch pad.
• After fitting, stomp-test the pedal with a dry and a damp sole to confirm solid grip. Also check that floor mats can’t ride up under the pedal — secure mats are part of good pedal feel.

With fresh pedal pads, drivers get consistent grip and a more confident brake and clutch feel. It’s a cheap, quick win for safety on any 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander.

Popular questions about 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander pedal pads

Do all 2007 Outlanders have pedal pads?
Yes — the brake pedal has a replaceable rubber pad on all models. Manual-transmission Outlanders also have a clutch pedal pad. The accelerator is generally a fixed tread and not a separate pad.

How can someone tell their pedal pad needs replacing?
If the rubber is shiny, hard, cracked, torn, or feels slippery when wet, it’s time. Any movement of the pad on the pedal, or edges that won’t stay hooked over the metal plate, also means it should be replaced.

Are pedal pads different between auto and manual models?
The brake pedal pad is common across transmissions, but only manuals use a clutch pad. Always match the pad to the CW-series Outlander and check by VIN if unsure.
