I contacted ARB today re: rear locker,
they need the number of splines on the axle,
the number of ringear bolts & the internal dimension of the ring gear. Not much eh?
Note this is not a limited slip diff.
Can anyone come up with these dimensions or have knowledge of the correct locker for this vehicle?
Thanks in advance.

Is yours a GenI or GenII? LWB or SWB? You can get some of the info off the tag on the firewall/bulkhead. That will give you the model number and ratio. Count the number of bolts which hold the diff head in and also measure the distance across the the diff head where it bolts into the housing and let me know. Will see what I can find out.

BTW, the name "Pajero" was taken from the South American where it relates to a Pampas Cat, something like an oceolot. All comes back to the Japanese propensity for calling cars after English words which sound interesting in Japanese - hence we get imports called "lettuice" "parsley" "Cedric" and "Enima"!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Chris, while you're at it, what are the ARB lockers for my 1989 Gen1 LWB, which used to be a 2.5TD (no intercooler)?

Thank,s
GenII A/T LWB
Transaxle: V4AW2 4875
There are 10 bolts in the rear diff member.

Further information on the Mitsubishi Pajero SUV
For the curious, the Spanish word pajero means æwankerÆ, from paja meaning æwankÆ (literally, æstrawÆ), in the expression hacerse una paja, (literally æto do oneself a strawÆ). These slang expressions come from the fact that both a straw and the penis are similar in being pipe-like. It is the first meaning to come to mind to Spanish speakers in both Spain and the majority of Latin America.
Pajero has some non-rude agricultural meanings, referring to someone selling or transporting straw or (in the Canary Islands dialect) the barn where it is kept. These are the original meanings of the word, but not common these days. It is also an obscure nickname for people from Santo Domingo de la Calzada in La Rioja, presumably due to historical straw production in the village.
In the dialects of Nicaragua, Colombia and Guatemala, paja is used to mean ætapÆ (i.e. the end of the æpipeÆ), and so, in Nicaragua at least, a pajero is a plumber, to the mirth of other Spanish-speakers.
However, none of these rude or innocent meanings gave the vehicle its name. There is a feline, scientifically classified as Oncifelis colocolo, which is known in Spanish as the gato pajero (ægrass catÆ) or gato de las pampas (æPampas catÆ). It is similiar to the ocelot and hunts small animals in the reeds and grasslands of South America. There are several subspecies, including Oncifelis colocolo colocolo found in central Chile and Oncifelis colocolo pajeros found in central Argentina. In this official press release in Japanese (media.mitsubishi-motors.com/pressrelease/j/products/detail310.html), Mitsubishi explains that they got the name for the vehicle from the latter subspecies, which they call by its short name Felis pajeros. The Pampas cat featured on the emblem on early Pajero SUVs.
Genteel sources such as the BBC claim that pajero means æmasturbatorÆ, which is incorrect given that it is offensive slang, just like the English term. The pronunciation of Pajero tends to be anglicised to æpuh-JEER-ohÆ, but the original Spanish is quite different: very approximately æpah-HAIR-ohÆ. It is the anglicised pronunciation that is used as the basis of Japanese &#12497;&#12472;&#12455;&#12525; (pa je ro) and Chinese &#24085;&#26480;&#32599; (pÓ jiÚ lu¾).
The Mitsubishi Pajero was renamed Montero (æhunter in the mountainsÆ) in Spain and the Americas, and ù strangely ù Shogun (æJapanese warlordÆ) in the UK; but people in other parts of the world, including Australia and continental Europe, drive about cars which proudly proclaim their driver to be a Pajero in lettering along the side.

. . . I knew that!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Professor!!

That 4.875 gear ratio tells me you have the 9" rear diff with the small front diff. At least here in the states, that was the ratio installed on the '92-'93 SR's that only had the 3.0 V6. Should be the RD25 if you have disc brakes or the RD46 if you have drums. No available traction aids for the small front diff. If you had the larger rear diff, the ratio would hav been either 4.636 or 4.900.

Boertijie, you should be running the RD46 rear diff and the front should be the RD110. Mitsu used the same diffs in the Gen I LWB diesels as they used in the V6 models.

Thank's Lee,

You are a sharp guy! The RD25 is under Applications by part number in the ARB catalogue not under Mitsubishi apps.

I hope I don't appear thick. I have disc brakes. Are you stating I have the 9" ring gear when you call it a 9" diff? What would idendtify a factory locker that would fit, if I found one for sale? Which parts of the diff would I actually need?

Sorry to be off topic..

But nice name Wanker! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

So.... hate to go offtopic, but since they used the same rears in the LWB V6 as the diesels of that year, it would not hurt anything if I say... swap in a 2.8 or 3.2 TD?

Sorry, more muttering to myself.
