MITSUBISHI 7801A110 GENUINE OEM FACTORY ORIGINAL LINK ARM

Bought a 17 year old Lancer that had a very hard-to-turn climate control knob, quick internet search lead me to this product. Got it installed following some YT videos and now I don't fear breaking the knob everytime I change the temperature control.

Took about 20 minutes to put these in and now I can change from hot to cold easily. Amazon fitment detector says these don't fit my Lancer but this is false, it fits.

Great replacement gears for Temp knob for 2003 Outlander.

Love my Lancer but the fact that I have to replace this part is the reason I won't likely every buy a Mitsubishi. The part should have been replaced by a Mitsubishi recall. I have no idea how they managed not to be forced into recall. If they ever step up and offer service to existing customers, I may one day buy a Mitsubishi again; but it's been this long, so likely not going to happen.This part dramatically improves the function of the heater control. It's a must have if you have the old linkage in place. Without replacing this, your heat selector knob will eventually break off. Not a question of if, but when. Again, this will dramatically improve the ability to turn your heat control knob, but you must put sufficient grease on it when you swap it out, or it will still bind. I'm guessing the poor reviewer did not put on enough grease. There are youtube videos that show how to replace this, as well as the heat selector shaft/knob if yours has already sheared off. If you watch the videos, either project is about as complicated as changing a tire. If you don't watch the video, it's difficult to figure out.

Exact fit. Better than the original
