Guys, does anyone know if the nissan genuine PTO stick control on the transmission tunnel is suitable to fit the Thomas/powerauto PTO set up.


Also does anyone know where to start looking to source one as i currently have not been able to find anything.


Thanks.

I know this is from an MQ but could you possibly use a small air cylinder like mine? then just use a mechanical switch to activate it - maybe a restrictor so it actuates a little slower rather than ramming it home?, runs well off of an arb compressor, you just need to work out how much force and travel you need and choose a cylinder/work out lever accordingly.

I like this idea might have to do some more research.

Thanks for the pic

From waht I was told when I first got my first shorty. Thomas/powerauto dont make there own pto for a GQ. They just used nissan ones. My old shory had a powerauto setup. And the factory one I have now looks the same. So cant see why it would work. Still uses a cable setup. Just the nissan one looks better.
