Hi....01 pajero 3.5ltr petrol v6....i fitted a timing belt and spark plugs to vehicle last week,
test drove it and all was ok...this week i see the car again and customer mentions a vibration at times.Upon
test drive i found a vibration in the whole vehicle when cruising at approx 40kph,but only happens sometimes.i.e: once every 5 kilometers or so,and for about 10 seconds.If i knock the automatic into neutral when it vibrates the shudders stop.What the hell is going on?...customer says this didnt happen before the work i did.I didnt have vehicle raised on a hoist or do any work under the vehicle.It feels like when you drive over a cattle
grid.The vibration comes through the body,not the steering wheel.Any ideas?

Hey,just got a tip that the "damper clutch" in the torque convertor has caused this type of vibration in several other pajeros of this model (also some magnas).Tip came from senior mechanic at mitsubishi
Newcastle,and also got same answer fro Barry Stace Automatics in
Newcastle.Could be due to incorrect oil being used in gearbox or faulty parts.Customer is now being sent to Auto trans expert to get a Auto oil flush,We the cross fingers and hope it works.Gearbox must use Type M Special,not Type M or any other common oil.Sigh.
