Hey guys,
I have tried searching for ages and can't find any hard evidence of what i want to know, if i have missed this being answered before, sorry
.
My question is, is a sigma 5 speed manual box same as a pajero box? Will a sigma box fit into my pajero with the transfer bolted on the back?
Again sorry if its been asked, but i can't find an exact answer.
Thanksyou.
Andrew.

tried and failed b4 mate, heard storys of them working, but ive had m8s that have tried and failed, probly easier to find a pajero box anyway.

Thats the issue though, the price second hand for one is bull, ranging from 700 to 1500 exchange, (i'm not kidding) and the only reason i really want one is because i need it to model my SR20 conversion. MNy gearbox is a little tired, but i can rebuild it, i only really want one for measurement purposes, if a sigma also fit it would be an advantage.
What was it that failed about them?
Also, do you know if all the bolt pattern and spline/input shaft mneasures are exactly the same?

the bolt pattern on the back of the block on a pajero is the same as a scorpion 2.6 5speed, spline and everything is the same, it will bolt in, u will only be able to run rwd tho, as apparently the transfer wont bolt up unless u use the scorpion internals in the pajero housing, its just an arse around, if u were closer id offer u one of my pajero 5speeds, got a whole turbo diesel na out the back that owes me 150 buks lol, must just get lucky up here, good luck with it m8, if u need to kno any specifics give the guys from RPW a call, they have done these types of things b4 and have helped me out of a few sticky situations, cheers Dan

Thanks for the info mate. Well as long as the spline and bolt patern are the same then atleast i can buy a sigma box to get my measurements i need. Thanks for the box offer to, as you say if it wasn't so far away. I looked up google maps too, and didnt relise that cairns is 22 hours away! Haha.
How much you reckon shipping would be?

more than the cost of the box id be guessing lol, i kno a diff centre from cairns to brissy is $90, so a gearbox and transfer would have to be around $200,

What would you want for the box then? What kind of condition?
