Parts for your 2014 Mitsubishi Asx-Clutch kit

2014 Mitsubishi ASX clutch kit: what it is, and when to replace it

Technical sources including the Mitsubishi Motors service information for the GA-series ASX/RVR (Outlander Sport), the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue, and major aftermarket catalogues (e.g., Exedy Australia and ClutchPro/ACS) confirm that a conventional single-plate clutch and release mechanism is fitted to 2014 Mitsubishi ASX models with the manual transmission. Those same sources show that the automatic ASX (the CVT) uses a torque converter and does not use a serviceable clutch kit. So, a clutch kit is relevant to 2014 ASX manual variants, but not to CVT autos.

For manual 2014 ASX models, the clutch kit is the heart of smooth gear changes. It typically includes the pressure plate, friction disc, and release bearing (and, where applicable, a concentric slave cylinder and alignment tool). Together, they connect and disconnect the engine from the gearbox, letting the driver pull away cleanly and swap cogs without drama.

There’s no fixed service interval for a clutch, it’s a wear item that depends on driving style and conditions. City traffic, hills, towing, and riding the pedal will all shorten its life. Common signs it’s time for a new kit include slipping under load, shudder on take-off, a high or inconsistent bite point, difficulty selecting gears, or noise when the pedal is pressed.

When replacing the clutch on a 2014 ASX manual, it pays to do the job once and do it properly:

• Replace the full kit (pressure plate, disc, release bearing) rather than individual pieces.
• Inspect and machine or replace the flywheel to ensure a flat, clean mating surface.
• Check the rear main seal and gearbox input shaft seal while the gearbox is out, replace any that show weeping.
• Inspect the release fork, pivot, guide tube, and hydraulics, renew worn parts and bleed fresh fluid.
• Torque all fasteners to spec with thread locker where specified in the service manual.

After fitment, a gentle bed-in over the first 500–800 kilometres helps the friction surfaces settle. Avoid heavy towing or aggressive launches during this period. With sensible driving, many ASX clutches will see well over 100,000 kilometres, and some much more. If your 2014 ASX happens to be the CVT auto, rest easy—there’s no conventional clutch kit to service, any take-off shudder or flaring is a transmission issue and should be diagnosed as a CVT concern.

Popular questions

Does the 2014 Mitsubishi ASX CVT need a clutch kit?
No. The CVT auto in the 2014 ASX uses a torque converter rather than a traditional friction clutch. If it’s shuddering on take-off or flaring between ratios, that points to CVT calibration, fluid condition, or internal components—best checked by a technician familiar with Jatco CVTs.

How long should a 2014 ASX manual clutch last?
It varies hugely with use. Many owners see 100,000–200,000 kilometres. Stop–start city driving, steep hills, towing, or riding the clutch can shorten that. Slipping under load, a high bite point, or take-off shudder are the common cues to book it in.

What else should be done when replacing the clutch?
Fit a complete kit, machine or replace the flywheel, and check the rear main seal and gearbox input seal. It’s also smart to inspect the release fork and pivot and refresh the hydraulic fluid. Doing these while the gearbox is out saves time and money later.
