The clutch cover (clutch pressure plate) with OEM number ME512211 is a heavy-duty replacement for the clutch system in Mitsubishi Fuso Canter medium-duty trucks, specifically the FE72DEV chassis and related FE-series models. This component provides the clamping force that holds the clutch disc against the flywheel, transmitting engine torque to the transmission. The MFC590 is the aftermarket reference number for this same pressure plate, supplied by manufacturers such as EXEDY, VALEO, and LUK.
This clutch cover is built for the 4M50 4.9L common rail turbo-diesel engine (4,899 cc, direct-injection) found in the FE72DEV and FE85D chassis. It features a 325 mm outer diameter - significantly larger than light-duty clutch plates - providing the torque capacity required for commercial vehicle operation at or near GVWR.

- Drive: 2WD (RWD)
The matching clutch disc for this cover is ME517724 (325 mm diameter), and the matching release bearing is ME538345. For a complete clutch system overhaul, all three components should be replaced together.
The ME512211 clutch cover is interchangeable with the following numbers:
| OE Number / Reference | Brand / Notes |

The clutch cover features an outer diameter of 325 mm, which is significantly larger than light-duty clutch plates, providing the clamping force and torque capacity required for the 4M50 engine's output and the Canter's 3-tonne payload rating.
The pressure plate is manufactured from high-strength steel, providing the rigidity and durability required for commercial vehicle clutch operation. This material resists deformation under high clamping forces and heat generated during repeated clutch engagements.
The cover uses a diaphragm spring that applies uniform clamping force across the clutch disc friction surface. This design provides consistent pedal feel and progressive engagement, reducing the risk of judder or grab during take-off.
The pressure plate incorporates ventilation slots in the central area to enhance airflow and cooling. This design prevents overheating during prolonged clutch engagement - particularly important for trucks operating in hilly terrain or during heavy-load take-offs.
The clutch cover is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory unit. It matches the original mounting bolt pattern (368 mm P.C.D.) and flywheel interface, requiring no modifications, adapter plates, or custom fabrication.
The cover is interchangeable with multiple OE and aftermarket numbers including MFC590, 30210-Z5068, 30210-Z5105, NDC536, and MFC521. This extensive cross-reference ensures customers find the correct replacement.
The clutch cover is manufactured under IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified quality management systems - the automotive industry's highest standard for component production.
Each batch of the Mitsubishi Fuso clutch cover ME512211 undergoes the following verifications:
| QC Item | Verification Method |
|---|---|
| Dimensional accuracy | CMM measurement - 325 mm OD, 210 mm ID, 368 mm PCD verified |
| Diaphragm spring load | Clamping force test - verified against OE specification |
| Surface hardness | Rockwell hardness test - steel grade confirmed |
| Material composition | Spectrographic analysis per batch |
| Dynamic balance | Spin-balanced at operating speed - residual imbalance within OE tolerance |
| Full functional test | Random 2-5% of each batch tested on clutch test rig |
A certificate of conformance (COC) with batch test data is available for wholesale orders.
| Symptom | Diagnosis |
|---|---|
| Clutch slippage under load - RPM rises without speed increase | Worn pressure plate - clamping force reduced |
| High or vague clutch pedal bite point | Diaphragm spring fatigued - replace cover |
| Clutch judder or shudder during take-off | Uneven clamping force or warped cover |
| Heavy clutch pedal requiring excessive effort | Worn release fingers or diaphragm spring |
| Burning smell from clutch area | Excessive heat from slippage - cover and disc overheated |
- This is a clutch cover only - the clutch disc and release bearing are separate components
- The matching clutch disc for this cover is ME517724 (325 mm)
- The matching release bearing is ME538345
- When replacing the clutch cover, always replace the clutch disc and release bearing as a complete set
- Inspect the flywheel for scoring, cracking, or warpage - resurface or replace if damaged
- Use new mounting bolts - torque-to-yield bolts are single-use
- Torque the cover bolts to Mitsubishi factory specification in a star/cross pattern
- Do not allow oil or grease to contact the clutch disc friction surface
- Do not disassemble the pressure plate - it is a sealed, factory-assembled unit
| Component | OE Reference |
