FAQ

Q1: How do I confirm this thrust washer fits my S6B3 engine?
A: Please verify the engine model number stamped on your engine’s data plate. This part (35a09-18100) is specifically designed for the Mitsubishi S6B3 and S6A3 series. For absolute confirmation, compare the dimensions of your old thrust washer with the OEM size specification. If you have the engine serial number, we can also cross-reference it for you.

Q2: What are the symptoms of a worn thrust washer?
A: A worn thrust washer typically results in excessive crankshaft end-play. You may notice a knocking or thumping sound from the lower end of the engine, especially when engaging the clutch or changing engine speed suddenly. In severe cases, it can cause the crankshaft to walk forward or backward, leading to contact with the engine block or main bearing caps. Immediate replacement is recommended if these symptoms are detected.

Q3: Can I install this thrust washer myself, or do I need special tools?
A: Replacing a thrust washer is a major repair that requires removing the oil pan and main bearing caps. While it does not require specialized factory tools, it demands precision. You will need a torque wrench, a dial indicator to measure end-play, and a clean workspace. We recommend installation by a qualified diesel mechanic to ensure correct clearance and prevent damage to the crankshaft journals.
