I have a 93 GNXE v6 Pajero with a 5 sp manual box. Since i bought it there is a stiffness when putting it into third gear. If you take your time it slips in smoothly , if you try to hurry the change it "sticks" as it goes in and you have to give it an extra 'push'. I've tried double clutching but doesn't make any difference. This happens going up and down the gears. Has anyone any ideas. My thoughts leaned towards a worn syncro in third maybe. Open to ideas.
cheers

Yes third gear syncro will be a bit tired. Try changing the gearbox oil, use VMX, also add some Pro ma MBL8, it works wonders with syncro's that are a bit tired.

I have the same problem with my 90, where can I buy this oil?

Cheers

VMX is from Castrol and can be found almost anywhere. The MBL8 i found at Mitsubishi dealer.

Thanks for the info.

I posted same question on the English Pajero site.http://www.pocuk.com/forums/index.php?s ... 5c52f97839 They suggested replacing gearbox oil with ATF oil. With the same result.

I suggest using Redline MT90. Its absolute MAGIC for worn manual boxes.
