The transmission has a cable to select P R N D, the gear selection once in D is fully electric. The transfer has no mechanical connection. It utilizes switches in the base of the transfer lever, a Transfer control unit and switches and actuators. The Tcase is shifted by an electric motor, the...

The crank bolt is the same one used in FWD car engines for decades. I presume this has sat, undriven for some time, and without a battery might be part of the stalling if the ECU needed to relearn itself. Fuel leak, being a steel tank it could be a rust issue or something in the rather complex...

As I am working at closing some details on the engine before it goes in the chassis, hopefully to stay there. Task late today was for fresh seals and replace the injector filter baskets. I have always been able to run a screw or a tap into the filter and just pull them out. But the one I have...

One thing I am still questioning with this build, I like manual transmissions, and back in 2009 I built this 6 speed to go into a Gen 2 which I have yet to install it. These shots were when it was in process, it is currently bolted up to a twin turbo engine. It might need to wait for me to...

Reminiscing back a year ago. A year back on Sept 14 the Pajero arrived here from Oregon, By the 16th I had the Gen 3 electric shifters mounted under the Gen 2 console. And on the 21st I had the 5 speed auto trans in the shop to start playing with wires. And the engine was delivered that...

I am curious if this "crap" will creep beyond the Delica or out into other states. I see comments about registering a "Postal vehicle" being needed for our RHD vehicles in some regions. Makes me wonder if I should swap my Pajero to LHD before I get much further along. Would be easier for my wife...

After that stall, were you able to drive it any distance or could it have simply been out of fuel? Either that or the stall was for some undetected reason not related to the tank/pump.

The biggest problem with the 2.6 as it is in the Montero, Starion and other cars is the intake manifold. The flow distribution sucks. To me it does not matter how you blend the fuel going in if each cylinder gets different amounts of it. When I had Dual Webers on my well prepped 2.6 in a track...

A few thoughts, Stalling. Long slender fuel tank with the pump at the aft end, I could see that the pump could be "un-ported" on a downhill section, if that was the case. Shifting, Cable adjustment, Is the transmission settled in it's neutral detent before and after the cable adjuster is...

Years back when I built the 6 Spd manual for a Gen2 I had a stub shaft made by one of the custom axle shops in country. First shaft was crap but they backed it up with a perfect one. That came out nice since I just have a 1/2" plate between the Tacoma box and Mitsu T case. I have yet to install...

That would not bother me at all, I do allot of mentoring and have done so since I was a kid. I also learn as I mentor since I recognize my way does not work for everyone which is a very import lesson I learned. As such I learn different techniques from everyone I am around. Interesting thing of...

A followup on this wiring process, the further protection being added over the wires. More to come.

I wish he made a shorter stub shaft so the Tcase does not need to go back that far.

9.1 or 9.5 if I recall My 3.8 DOHC built from a 2005 Galant engine with SR heads is about 11.7 or 12:1, It makes real good power.

Luckily wiring works for me. Heck you are more efficient with the Heavy metal and I can do details and wires all day long. Wish I could afford to move out there but I should have done that 20-30 years back if I was going to. I am creeping up on 70 so I do not see it in the cards. And about...

Still picking at the "bad hair" at the back of the engine. Closer but far from done. The corrugated tube to the left is the transmission and Tcase harness. The two to the right and center are the rear heater water feeds.

Are the tach signals single pulse/rev or 3 &4 respectively? Obviously I have yet to do said swap. Knowing me I would be looking around for a Hyundai V8 just so I can keep things all Mitsu.

Did you drive the vehicle after shifting out of 4wd? Or just shift it and note that the light was on?

I have ordered a front diff, kind of think I should have ordered the T case gears since I really do not want to pull that case out in the vehicle. Not only is that case huge but where it is over the middle crossmember and pretty snug against the body as well I doubt it will roll out of there. I...

Front LSD, Decisions, decisions. I intend to install a worm type LSD in this and since 95% of the mission is road work and near half the year is not pretty weather. Well snow can be pretty. At this time this has the factory plate type rear diff, that will need the re-stacking to get usable grip...
