sherman4970 · Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 4:07 pm Post subject: rear axle fitment?

I have a 1992(v24) Mk swb pajero with a center diff lock.I am looking to fit a rear axle with a diff lock in it from a 1995 v6 Mk paj swb.Can anyone tell me if it should go straight in or will I have problems?
Thanks all.

The 2.5td and 3.0v6 should both be 4.875 stamped on the back of the diff , [2.8's are usually 4.9000]
You need to get the diff lock compressor fits beside the diff lock ecu plug usually taped to the loom running from ecu easily recognised by te connectors ' and rear diff lock switch as well.
You will also need a length of 6mm pipe to feed from compressor to diff. The ecu for rear diff is behind the n/s rear panel just in front of where the rear seat belt mounts, BTW its a pain to remove I just didnae bother putting mine back on Morpheus.

I think I may have figured out an area of confusion... finally.

Does this mean that old Pajeros use LSDs throughout and newer ones have "proper" diff locks?

On the older Pajeros they had both open and LSD diffs, diff locks were an optional extra in Japan but, standard on Shogun's over here I think

When did the models change, then? I've just seen a page saying the SuperSelect4WD has diff locks but it didn't clarify which of the three diffs locked nor whether it was a standard fitment on the model it was talking about (1989 and later).

*confused look returns*

centre diff licks

Ahh, right. So the rear diff is always LSD, even on the post 1989 change? All the way up to the actively locking diff mentioned at the beginning of this thread?

*slow comprehension*

Thanks for this Smile

The rear diff is either open or LSD [LSD would be marked with a label on diff casing/ as is ratio of the diff ] on standard set up, Super select has centre diff lock.
Diff locked versions are easy to spot by the diff lock switch beside the accessory socket below the radio fascia.
