Lately (last 6 months) i've noticed my fuel enconomy slowly geting worse and worse, and havent been able to figure out why, then the other day sitting at the traffic lights it was idleing perticularly high can't tell you how high as it has no tacho but about twice as high as normal, then at the next ...

Ok some of you may have followed my thread in the general tech section a few weeks ago but for those that didn't heres what happened, I was driving to work cruising along in fith gear when i heard a 'clunk', and lost all drive(FYI- it's a 92 triton). Now i got it home and ripped the box out and had ...

I used this guy called mobile pete a few months ago and was happy with job he did, as the name sugests he comes to you, think he bases him self out of glass house. He's a former panel beater that just works for him self now. He only did a couple of rust spots on mine around the top of windscreen and ...

Thanks fellas I'll go have a closer look and a measure up today if there the same (which i suspect they are just by looking at them yesterday), It may just be a case of swaping belhousings. Mate said that i can have the spare box for a carton as he no longer uses this model anymore, which sure as ...

Just had a look at my mates spare pajero box and they are different, pajero's have hydrolic clutches, where as mine is cable. I will keep searching for a second hand gearbox, hopefuly one will turn up soon.

There teeth striped, entire gears and cogs that have basicaly been inilated. Jonezy Wow, you sure it only made a 'clunk' as you mentioned in the original post? :shock: Yeah was only a small clunk, but in saying that when towing it home (2-300meters) my couldnt give a fawk anymore additude decided ...

Thanks for your input guys, I pulled the box out this morning and opened up the belly pan on it and it's well and truly farked. There teeth striped, entire gears and cogs that have basicaly been inilated. Looks like I am up for a full rebuild, got a few quotes all starting at upwards of $1200, so ...

Na mate, theres no drive either in 2h or 4L/h

Can still shift through all the gears no worries, just no drive out of them

Jonezy

Going to work this morning cruising along in 5 gear when i heard a clunk then i lost all drive. Can anyone shed some light on some likely causes and whether im going to be up for a new box etc...

Welcome to the site

Yes patrol coils will give you a 2"heavy duty lift.

With a 3 grand budget i would be starting with suspension, decent tyres, and either a front locker or a exhaust upgrade. It all depends on what you want out of it and how you will be using it.

Try googling it mate.

Its normal for the camber to be thrown out when cranking torsion bars, you should ALWAYS get a wheel alinement when ever do work on front ends. Take it somewhere that is experienced in doing 4x4 alinments, you will probly find more shims are requiered to correct the camber.

I need new shocks, the current ones are stuffed. As for the torsion bars, I'm a big lad and thought better ones would hold up a bit better then the stock ones. I wound the stock ones up the other day when we done the bodylift. Just figured more lift would be better. But yeah not 100% sure yet, if ...

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR , if it is cheap it is usually for a reason,commonly because it is chinese or indian. I am not bagging any specific name or brand :lol: I here what your saying, but if they got a 2 year/40thou warranty they got to have some faith in their product, dont they? Im not planning ...

Looking at puting some raised leaves in the back of my ute and was wondering what peoples thoughs and experience are? From what ive been told maxi trac is just a sub brand of ironman, was quoted $300 a pair as against ironmans $400 a pair. Also weather to go comfort or performance leaves? its for a ...

My old man just put some bridgstones on his GU he ended up getting the from the Bridgstone dealer in kunda park (Maroochydore) on the sunny coast. They were the cheapest by far. Might be worth a call? Cant remember what he paid off the top of my head.

Jonezy

As a matter of fact that was my hand brake untill I finaly got round to adjusting it, I would think sunnies would be the cheapest option for your friend not sure about the GXL rims that might be one to ask in a new topic.

Heres a pic of my 92 MH, 2" lift, 31" Muds, Got a custom tube bar sitting in the shed ready to go on, Future Mods will be a 2" Body Blocks, 33's, front locker, and possibly a custom tray(see were the funds are at and how much time ill have) http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/Jonezy01/Triton ...

I just steped up from 235's to 31x10.5x15's on my triton, fawk me it's gutless as all fawk now looking at picking up some second hand 235's for road use and keeping the 31's as a play set. It suprised me just how much of a difference it made.

These should help you if havent already read them. Coils http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?t=34484 Torsion Bars http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?t=43982\ http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?t=45222 Or just go to the FAQ at the top of the mitsubishi main page. Jonezy

Cheapest way would be to weld it, personaly I would stick a LSD in it if doesnt already have one, Mitsubitishi is known for having one of the tightest LSD around. If it already has one and you still want more just shimm it right up. other than that you start looking at lots of $.

Does it still drive smooth when it clunks (can you feel it through the drive line at all). almost sounds like it could be the diff, its sounds to loud and the wrong sort of noise to be CV's.

Jack the front up and turn the wheels should help narrow down where the noise is comming from.

Sounds as though the selector has poped out, You might be lucky enough to pop it back in through the top of the box ( ie removing the gear stick) Other wise you have to drop the gear box out and split it. Its not that hard if you no what your doing and where your looking if not it shouldn't be to ...

If you have a use for it then a grand is a really good price for it. Is it a wagon? Yeah mate its a wagon, think i might grab her dont realy have a need for her at the moment but am trying to sell my current truck. was looking for a 60 series with a 12ht but their still pulling a premium $. How do ...

Chemical would be easyiest mate just used some alloy acid which can be bought from any truck place.

Long distance driving, comfort you can't go past the humble padj, reliability there up there with the best. Don't be put off by the IFS unless you plan on going hardcore. In saying that Mitsubitshi is known for having the strongest front ends around (as far as ifs goes) and when couple with a 2 ...

Hey fellas i've got the option of buy a 3.3lt deisel MQ fairly cheap. its a 1981 NISSAN PATROL DELUXE with 280xxx on it what sort of life expectancy have they got and is there any problems with them. It's not turbo but can easyly pick one up on the cheap(carton or two). What sort of money would yo ...

iv heard in the past off people making a breather and water tight cover for the dizzy... any one heard of this? or got pics? Just put a bead of silicon around the cap (To seal it) then just get some clear pvc hose for the breather and run it up to ya fire wall with a in line fuel filter on the end ...
