Parts for your 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse cross-Cluth slave cylinder

2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross cluth-slave-cylinder: is it fitted or relevant?

For Australian and New Zealand delivered 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross models, a cluth-slave-cylinder isn’t used or relevant. These vehicles were sold with a CVT (continuously variable transmission) and no manual gearbox option in these markets, so there’s no clutch pedal and no hydraulic clutch circuit to operate—hence no cluth-slave-cylinder.

This isn’t just workshop folklore. Technical sources make it clear that local 2019 Eclipse Cross variants are CVT-only and therefore don’t carry clutch hydraulics. Mitsubishi’s service literature also shows that the hydraulic clutch hardware (including a concentric release cylinder) applies only to 6‑speed manual variants offered in some overseas markets, not to the AU/NZ line-up.

• Mitsubishi Motors Australia – Eclipse Cross 2019 specification/brochure: transmission listed as CVT for local trims.
• Mitsubishi Motors Workshop Manual (Eclipse Cross GK/GL series): Group 22 (Clutch) covers 6MT vehicles only, CVT sections contain no clutch master or slave components.
• MMC ASA/Mitsubishi electronic parts catalogue: AU/NZ CVT VINs show no clutch master/slave parts, only CVT assemblies and related controls.

Why isn’t a cluth-slave-cylinder used? A CVT uses its own internal hydraulic control to manage ratio changes and a torque converter for take‑off. The driver doesn’t engage or disengage a clutch, so there’s no need for a clutch master or slave cylinder on the firewall or bellhousing. If someone is chasing a “clutch” issue on a 2019 Eclipse Cross in AU/NZ, they’re usually dealing with CVT behaviour, shifter cable adjustment, or engine tune issues—not a failed cluth-slave-cylinder.

Worth noting: in some regions, 6‑speed manual Eclipse Cross variants do exist and use a concentric hydraulic release cylinder (often called a concentric cluth-slave-cylinder) inside the bellhousing. That setup simply wasn’t fitted to Australian or New Zealand 2019 models.

FAQs

Does a 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross have a cluth-slave-cylinder?
AU and NZ models from 2019 are CVT-only, so they don’t have a cluth-slave-cylinder. There’s no clutch pedal or hydraulic clutch system in these vehicles. Overseas manual versions do use a concentric hydraulic release cylinder, but that doesn’t apply to local cars.

How can someone tell if their Eclipse Cross has a cluth-slave-cylinder?
If there’s a clutch pedal and a 6‑speed H‑pattern shifter, it’s a manual and may have a concentric cluth-slave-cylinder inside the bellhousing. If it’s a PRND-style shifter with a CVT and no clutch pedal—as all AU/NZ 2019 cars are—there isn’t a cluth-slave-cylinder to service.

Which markets got the manual gearbox and a cluth-slave-cylinder?
Selected overseas markets offered a 6‑speed manual Eclipse Cross variant. Those cars typically use a concentric hydraulic release cylinder inside the bellhousing. Australia and New Zealand were specified with CVT across the range for 2019, so they missed the manual option and its clutch hydraulics.
