Parts for your 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer-Pedal pads

2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Pedal Pads — what they do and when to replace them

Pedal pads are absolutely used on the 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer. The factory setup includes a rubber pad on the brake pedal across all transmissions, and an additional rubber pad on the clutch pedal in manual models. This is supported by Mitsubishi’s Lancer CJ/CF Workshop Manual (2011–2015) and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue, which list serviceable brake and clutch pedal pad components for these vehicles. The owner’s manual also calls out checking pedal surfaces for wear during routine servicing.

What’s the point of these pads? Grip and safety. The rubber face gives the driver consistent traction in wet or dry conditions, reduces foot fatigue on longer trips, and protects the metal pedal plate from wear. On some trims there are decorative alloy covers with rubber inserts, the functional grippy surface is still the rubber.

There’s no fixed replacement interval for pedal pads on a Lancer—swap them on condition. A quick check at each service (10,000–15,000 km is a good rhythm) keeps things tidy and safe. Tell-tales it’s time to replace include:

• Shiny, slippery surface or hardening rubber
• Cracks, chips, or the edges rolling up
• Pad moving on the pedal or any metal showing through

Replacement is straightforward for DIYers or any workshop. For rubber pads, lever the old one off, clean the pedal plate, then warm the new pad in hot water to soften it. Hook the top lip first and roll it on until it’s fully seated all around. Press firmly and ensure no corners are lifted. On models with alloy covers, check the rubber inserts and the fixing screws, replace the insert or the cover assembly if the rubber is worn or the cover is loose.

Handy tips for Lancer owners in Aus/NZ:

1. Use quality OEM-equivalent pads—fit and grip matter.
2. Avoid lubricants or dressings on pedal surfaces (they’ll make things slippery).
3. After fitting, test grip with damp footwear to confirm it bites properly.
4. For manuals, replace clutch and brake pads as a pair so pedal feel remains consistent.

Whether it’s an automatic with a single brake pad or a manual with both brake and clutch pads, looking after these small bits makes a big difference to day-to-day driving confidence.

Popular questions about 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer pedal pads

Do all 2014 Lancers have pedal pads?
Yes. Every 2014 Lancer has a replaceable rubber brake pedal pad. Manual models also have a replaceable clutch pedal pad. Some trims feature alloy-style covers, but the grippy surface still relies on rubber inserts or an underlying pad.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed schedule—replace on condition. Inspect them at each service. If they’re smooth, cracked, hard, or lifting at the edges, swap them. Many drivers see several years out of a set, but high‑kilometre or wet-weather use can shorten that.

Can aftermarket alloy covers be fitted?
They can, provided they’re secure, don’t interfere with pedal travel, and maintain good grip. Ensure they meet local road rules and avoid anything that reduces traction. If in doubt, stick with quality OEM-style rubber pads for the best feel and safety.
