Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Excellent!
Where from?

I've got some SWB bolts that I can measure, but I'm not sure whether they are all the same length...

Cool, might give it a go when I'm feeling motivated/annoyed.
If that doesn't last long, could try the same process with teflon spray. It's supposed to be a bit more durable I think.

At work we use silicone grease for lubricating (and sealing) rubber plugs. Typically would be used on o-rings for waterproof housings etc. Safe to use on rubber. It's a white paste. Might transfer to the window though.
Perhaps some judicious use of some plain old silicone spray?
What parts are ...

Update: locks up in 2nd too.

I pretty sure the box locks up in 4th and 3rd. Not sure about second, and I have my doubts about 1st. But you never know!

If it will lock up in 1st, then I was thinking of putting a momentary push-button on the shift lever near the overdrive button. Then when approaching a steep descent, press and ...

Does anyone know whether it's possible to lockup the torque converter in 1st gear?
Transmission is V4AW3 from an '94 NJ 3.5 DOHC.

Whip the stereo out again and check the big plugs in behind where the stereo goes.

Yea boi!

What are you thinking of doing to the rear? Upper control arm?

I have Mitsu ASA installed, which is newer than CAPS. What part did you want the number for?

EDIT: I re-read the subject line...

07492: the o-ring on the tip changed in june '03 ...

True...
I suppose I should find out what's really wrong with it first.

Umm, struggling to remember what it looked like. Took the prop-shaft out for a look-see, but then got the shop down the road to replace the seal.
Doesn't the guard come away with the prop-shaft, as in, it's joined on to the back of the uj?
Looked like they levered it out (the old seal looked quite ...

After a solid mud-slinging session, seems like my 3.5 V6 has developed what sounds like a bit of rod knock. Well, that's what it sounds like to me. I guess I'll get a professional ear to it, see what they think. A main bearing perhaps? Or could it be in the top of the engine? Doesn't sound like ...

That's good news! Pays to do a little investigation I guess. The mighty paj lives again!

Quick check of the PCV system perhaps? Unlikely to cause smoke, but perhaps all the oil in the plenum is coming via the PCV, then getting burnt?

"The PCV system is easily checked with the engine running at normal idle speed (warmed up). Remove the PCV valve from the valve cover, but leave it ...

All fixed... New output seal and no more leaks. Turns out you can just lever the seal out and press a new one in.

Cool, thanks for that Scott. The back of the plug is looking pretty dry apart from grease... Must be the seal
Might have to drop it at the mechanic.

Hmm, that would be preferable. How can I check?

Folks,
Anyone know how hard it it to change the front output seal on a 3.5V6 transfer case? Mine has sprung a fast leak...
Also, presume it takes regular hypoid gear oil?

Wow, OEM AISIN hubs - they are pretty hard to come by...

Here's what the Mitsi ASA parts programs says:

MR165981 - 2.8 manual
MR165993 - 2.8 auto
MR165991 - (1-7-1994) to (3-3-1997) 3.5 manual
MR165996:
3.5 J-top auto
(1-7-1993) to (3-3-1997) 3.5 auto
(1-7-1993) to (3-6-1994) 3.5 manual

Who knows which of these are interchangeable of course...

I'd say the easiest and cheapest way of swapping would be to whip your steering wheel off, get a 3.5 pajero, pop the steering wheel back on in there. Hey presto, 3.5! It's a 'whole vehicle swap', it's all the rage these days...

Hey date - not a bad though, but no such thing on the mitsi throttle...
DRides: Thanks for your advice mate - been really helpful.

Grounded the brown connector while the engine's running. The idle drops a note, then after a few seconds rises back up again. When I disconnect it, the idle rises for a ...

Sorry, let me reword:

Backed the stopper screw on the throttle valve out, so that the butterfly sits closed against the bore.
Loosened off the cable. The throttle is definitely 100% closed.
With the brown connector grounded, and the engine running, turned the idle screw all the way in (closed ...

Stupid idle...

I've had the throttle body off again, and re-cleaned to make sure.
Backed the speed adjust screw out until the butterfly was completely closed.
Refitted, grounded the brown plug.
Started up, ran up to temperature (and then some).
Can't get the thing to idle any less than 900-1000 rpm ...

Folks,
I've got a leak out bottom of the bellhousing on my 3.5 pajero. Presume this is probably rear main seal? It's a steady drip when the vehicle is running, and does seem to be getting worse... Does keep the underside of the truck quite rust-free though!

I'm getting a little tired of topping up ...

Good stuff, will check that out for sure. Don't need to mess with anything else? TPS, idle switch etc?

How do you get on with the 35"s? Fit okay?

Crap, guess I'll have to take it to Mitsi to get that done
Cheer DRides.
