Ian the ARB engineer working on this project owns a Pajero and has the prototype fitted to his vehicle for testing I hear it has performed very well.
All the tooling have been made up for it as well Hardman Bros who do the 2.85 t/case gears actually cut the side gears and other bits for ARB lockers thats how I know all this.
Also I have found a 3.5 V6 auto t/case for $550 which I will get in a few weeks for low range development so hopefully in 3-4 months you will get your wish.

Will your new low range development for the 3.5L/auto also cater for the 2.8L, 3.5L (Gen 2.5???) manual boxes?

Yes they will cater for the 5sp boxes as well.
We found with the 3.0 V6 / 2.6 t/cases that the input shafts are different sizes (24 spline for 5sp and 23 coarse spline for the auto).
So the input gears are different between the auto & 5sp versions but the low range and idler gears are the same for both.
I'm guessing the 3.5 / 2.8 t/case has the same difference between the auto and 5sp.

Gidday Frank,
yeah thats good news all round.
BTW the cost of the transfer case should be bourne by all the guys wanting the 3.5 lower gears so dont forget to post when you need some funds,
