Help: Pajero steering conversion

[vsm712]

i decided to start a new thread just in case others would miss yung post ko sa ibang thread...

i really need detailed info regarding pajero conversion from RHD to LHD. lahat kase nung lumalabas from subic eh either toyota or bighorn gearbox gamit nila...kase nga madalang makakuha ng orig lhd pajero gearbox.. i need to know all related info that i need to know to make sure that the conversion would be safe...aside from getting orig gearbox ng mitsu ano ano pa kailangan? any recommended shops or mechanic? contacts...etc..

i really would appreciate all inputs. much better kung meron makapag post ng pix dun sa mga itsura ng parts na dapat i check at palitan (gearbox, etc)

also, would be great if you could post some nice sites or pictures dito to view some good looking gen 2 pajero lalo na yung mga 3dr.

btw, bakit yug gear box ang pinaka common na pinapalitan? can you tell me kung ano ang implication nito dun sa steering control na sinasabing nawawalan ng control...related ba sila? pls educate me on this...thanks

Simple. Iba orientation ng gearbox na LHD to that of the RHD. Opposite sila. On RHD vehicles, its on the right side, on LHD vehicles, its on the left.

yeah..pero does this have something to do dun sa nawawala control mo sa steering wheel? gearbox is for what? transmission?

Your best bet is a Hyundai Galloper gearbox since clone ito ng GEN I.

Ang problem sa maling gearbox ay hindi ito mag-ma-mount properly (hence welding ek ek). Kapag bumitaw ang gearbox sa mount nito, paktay ka na. Iba ang steering gearbox sa gearbox na transmission.

ic...thanks..pero anong cause nung nawawalan ng control sa steering? cause ba yun ng gearbox?

[OTEP]

Gearbox is part of the cause. Siyempre if the gearbox was not made for your vehicle, it will have a hard time working with the other components. Hindi naman one size fits all yan kasi. Kaya minsan bumibitaw.

thanks sir sa info..ic..so sa steering gearbox pala yun..san makikita ito and how would i know kung oks sya or not?

[pajerokid]

Hirap nung tanong na yan. Sa akin lang, kung hindi engineered para sa auto mo, wag!!! Steering yan bro.... would you trust your life on a cut and weld job? Hirap kasi sa pinas, sanay tayo sa paubrang trabaho. Gagana yan kung sa gagana, pero remember, its all not factory spec.

Well, madali lang naman makita kung okay or hindi. ... if it turns fine then its probably okay.

Sundan mo yung steering shaft as it goes out of the cabin. The big box it goes into (sa loob ng engine compartment) ay ang gearbox.
