2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross cluth-slave-cylinder — is it used?
Based on technical sources for Australia and New Zealand, the 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross does not use a cluth-slave-cylinder (clutch slave cylinder). Mitsubishi Motors Australia and Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand list the 2020 Eclipse Cross range with an 8‑step CVT automatic only, no manual option. The 2020 Owner’s Manual and specification sheets describe a CVT with a torque converter, which doesn’t require a manually actuated clutch. Contemporary technical write-ups and local reviews likewise note there’s no manual transmission offered for this model year and market.
Referenced sources include: Mitsubishi Motors Australia MY20 Eclipse Cross Specifications and Owner’s Manual, Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand model brochure/specs, local motoring publications’ 2020 reviews noting CVT-only availability. These indicate the absence of a clutch pedal, clutch master cylinder, hydraulic line and slave cylinder on AU/NZ-delivered 2020 vehicles.
Why there’s no cluth-slave-cylinder here comes down to the transmission design. The Eclipse Cross’s Jatco CVT uses a torque converter to couple engine torque at take-off and varies ratios with a steel belt and pulleys. Because there’s no foot-operated clutch, there’s no hydraulic clutch circuit to actuate—so no slave cylinder is fitted from factory on these models.
- Transmission type: CVT automatic, not a manual gearbox.
- No clutch pedal: Only brake and accelerator are present.
- No clutch hydraulics: No master cylinder, line, or slave cylinder on the bellhousing.
A small note for edge cases: in some overseas markets and earlier build years, certain Eclipse Cross variants were available with a manual gearbox. If someone privately imports a 2020 model that’s manual, it may have a hydraulic clutch with a master and slave cylinder. Owners can confirm by checking the build plate, VIN-spec documentation, or by sighting a clutch pedal and the hydraulic line to the transmission.
- Does the 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross have a cluth-slave-cylinder?
Locally delivered 2020 models in Australia and New Zealand don’t. They’re CVT-only, so there’s no manual clutch circuit and no clutch slave cylinder fitted. - If importing a manual 2020 Eclipse Cross, will it use a cluth-slave-cylinder?
Yes, a genuine manual variant typically uses a hydraulic clutch with a master and slave cylinder. Check the VIN details and look for a clutch pedal and a hydraulic line to the gearbox to be sure. - How can someone tell if their Eclipse Cross has a hydraulic clutch system?
Look for three pedals in the footwell, a small clutch fluid reservoir near the brake master cylinder, and a hydraulic line running to the gearbox bellhousing. If those aren’t present, it’s a CVT and there’s no cluth-slave-cylinder.
