Mitsubishi Pajero Fieldmaster (Gen 2.5) [ARCHIVED]

[pajerokid]

Yes chief, I actually read everything. Madami ako natutunan...right now I'm trying to source an original air filter for my Gen II pajero...nung nabili ko kasi the previouse owner replaced the original with a simota filter...I didn't know much about pajeros at the time so natuwa pa ako hehehehe

Bro here's a tipid tip..... major tipid tip.

Instead of getting a washable filter or stock filter, just bring your old filter to any auto supply shop which sells ISUZU parts. The Isuzu Elf (i think) has an air filter which is the exact size as those in the Local Version pajero (Japanese versions have flat air filters). What i do is just cut out the plastic fin part and remount it on the Isuzu filter. Do not discard this as you need it to equalize the air pressure inside the airbox and prevent the filter from deteriorating prematurely.... medyo mahirap explain (pero if you guys like explain ko in a separate reply ).

The best part about the Isuzu filter is..... IT ONLY COSTS Php150!!!!!! haha!

Haaay.... I remember the early days din..... pula pa yung pajero ko and sobrang sariwa...

Pero four years on, i honestly still cant thing of selling my car and getting a new one... of course on one hand, wala akong pera heheh, but on the other hand for practicality.

Not counting luho upgrades like the mags, the repaint, the sound system... sobrang no worries gamitin yung paj. i just stick to my 4k change oil/filter routine and drive away!

In terms of performance ba sir? Malaki po hehe. The Gen2 2.5L MT can out-accellerate a Gen2.5 2.8L AT. But you kinda get used to driving a pajero.... usually i just wake up and leave home a bit earlier and just enjoy the drive.

The 2.8L MT on the other hand is acceptably fast (well, at least compared to the other models i mentioned). but very very rare.

Thanks very very much sir PK for that info Kaya lang talagang very rare nga po ang M/T local 2.5 Gen.

Sir PK, i read your very informative inputs sa thread. tanong ko regarding my ride Gen 2.5 a/t .Observed ko that when i rev slowly i.e. less than 2000 rpm, i felt na magshift siya though not immediate but i really noticed the change gear. However, if i rev up immediately i.e more than 2000 rpm, i noticed (or felt ko lang) parang na stuck lang ang gear at hindi magshift or delayed ang shifting. is this normal? i also notice that after driving for more than 1 hour straight, it seems that matagal na ang shifting. Lastly , everytime i noticed delayed in shifting, i heard some sound near the right side sa engine (i think near sa exhaust/turbo) like an unfastened nut. thanks

Good Afternoon Pajero Boys,

new here, just finished reading from page 1 (naka 2 araw din ako). Appreciated the unselfish attitude of people here, sharing what they know as far experience is concerned.

anyway, isa lang ang isinama ng loob ko .... itinapon ko yung nasirang antenna ko ... repariable pala .

btw ... I'm a Gen 2.5 rider from Pque ................

sir pk sa amin po pakiramdam ko mas mabilis yung 2.8L na matic kesa sa 2.5L manual.. or baka dahil mas luma na yung gen2 namin at wala na sa condition... 65tkms na eh.. while.. the gen2.5 only has 16tkms?

kailangan ko na kaya magpa calibrate? and palitan mga belts at 65tkms? nasa magkano po kaya gastos sa ganun?
anyone here knows the model code po ng oem na timing belt ng 4d56tdic? im planning to replace them with mitsuboshi fanbelts. and the code nadin po ng fanbelts sa alternator and compressor(code)... tnx po

Why thank you sir!

Hmmmm..... normally AT's dont shift or take longer to shift the harder you squeeze the gas pedal. this makes the car go faster for overtaking maneouvers etx. When i want to make mine shift up, i usually hold the accelerator steady at around 2k rpm. Or kung gusto mo you can actually shift from 2 and L hehe. just make sure you dont hit Reverse hehe.

Just take care of your A/T and it will take care of you. i change my ATF yearly, regardless of what people say. Hey, it's the only regularly maintained thing in your tranny, why skimp on it? Also, of the Pajero tranny's ~8L capacity, only around 4L gets replaced.... unless you go through the laborious and expensive process of having the ATF sucked out. So 4L a year worth of ATF is reasonable. And at 1 total cost of around 1300 per year.... its a worthwhile expense imo. ;)

Well, if you can actually find a replacement plastic stalk, please do tell us about it! the last time my antenna broke, i can no longer find the banawe boy who repaired it (asa pa ako). And i seached the eskenitas, wala akong makita nagbebenta nung stalk lang so i went with the next best thing.... surplus japanese antenna and some mounting conversion.... not bad na rin for P1500, considering the antenna assembly costs upwards of 8k.

baka nga sir AC... your 2.8L is virtually brand new hehe. maybe it's just me, pero super bagal nung primera nung 2.8L ko....

I still remember racing my cousin's 2.6L Gen1 3 door.... di siya manalo against my then Gen2.... naka turbo mod lang nga yung sa akin... the famous washers.

test drive niyo rin sir yung AT, who knows, maybe the speed (or lack thereof ) is good enough.
