Mitsubishi Throw Out/Clutch Release Bearing – Evo 4-9

Firstly, BUY Mitsubishi Evo 4-9 Clutch Release Bearing MR145619. The Mitsubishi Evo 4-9 Clutch Release Bearing is a genuine OEM Mitsubishi clutch component designed for Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution models from Evolution IV through Evolution IX. Also known as a throw out bearing, the clutch release bearing is a critical part of the manual transmission clutch release system.

This genuine Mitsubishi bearing is identified by OEM part number MR145619 and is listed for Evolution IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX applications. It is also specified for RS, GSR, SE, MR and JDM Evolution models.

The clutch release bearing operates whenever the clutch pedal is depressed. It transfers the release force from the clutch fork to the pressure plate, allowing the pressure plate to disengage the clutch disc from the flywheel. Because it plays an important role every time the clutch is operated, using a quality OEM bearing is especially important when installing a new clutch.

Genuine Mitsubishi OEM Replacement

The MR145619 clutch release bearing is a genuine Mitsubishi OEM component. It is designed to meet the specifications required by the original Mitsubishi clutch system rather than being a generic aftermarket replacement. MitsubishiPartsGiant identifies MR145619 as a genuine Mitsubishi clutch release bearing and lists it as a new direct-replacement component.

For Evo owners replacing a worn clutch, rebuilding a transmission or installing a performance clutch, replacing the release bearing at the same time can help ensure that the clutch release system is refreshed while the transmission is already removed.

Designed for Evo 4-9

This Mitsubishi Evo 4-9 Clutch Release Bearing is listed for the following Evolution generations:

• Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV — CN9A
• Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V — CP9A
• Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI — CP9A
• Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII — CT9A
• Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII — CT9A
• Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX — CT9A

The bearing is also listed for RS, GSR, SE, MR and JDM versions of these Evolution models.

Important Clutch System Component

The release bearing is part of the clutch release mechanism. When you press the clutch pedal, hydraulic pressure moves the clutch release mechanism, causing the bearing to contact the pressure plate. This allows the clutch to disengage so the transmission can be shifted.

A worn or damaged release bearing can produce abnormal noises when the clutch pedal is operated and can affect the operation of the clutch system. Replacing the bearing during a clutch installation is therefore a common maintenance practice.

Ideal for Clutch Replacement

Firstly, the OEM Mitsubishi release bearing is an important component to replace when installing a new clutch.

Secondly, fitting a new bearing while the transmission is already removed avoids having to remove the transmission again later if the old bearing develops a problem.

BUY Mitsubishi Evo 4-9 Clutch Release Bearing MR145619, Genuine OEM throw out bearing for Evolution 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 RS, GSR, SE, MR and JDM models.

Thirdly, the genuine MR145619 bearing provides a factory-specification replacement for compatible Evo 4-9 applications.

This makes it suitable for standard replacement clutches as well as many performance clutch installations where the clutch manufacturer recommends or accepts the OEM Mitsubishi release bearing.

Why Replace the Clutch Release Bearing?

A clutch replacement is one of the most labor-intensive services on a Mitsubishi Evolution because the transmission must be removed to access the clutch assembly. When installing a new clutch, replacing the release bearing at the same time can help prevent the need for additional transmission removal later.

A new release bearing can also be particularly useful when installing a performance clutch. Even if the existing bearing appears functional, its age and operating history may make replacement worthwhile while the clutch is apart.

The MR145619 provides Evo owners with a genuine Mitsubishi OEM option for refreshing this part of the clutch system.

Installation Information

Professional installation is recommended for clutch release bearing replacement. The transmission must generally be removed to access the clutch assembly and release mechanism.

During installation, inspect the clutch fork, release mechanism, bearing retainer and related components for excessive wear or damage. The clutch and flywheel should also be inspected if they are being replaced or serviced at the same time.

Correct installation and lubrication of applicable contact points should follow Mitsubishi service procedures and the clutch manufacturer’s recommendations.
