Hello, guys can anyone please help me, just got a 2000 paj, manual.
I love it and my wife love's it the baby loves it, so why am I worried?
The gearbox when cold is very clunkie i get some crunch's in 1st and 2nd, after it warms up it gets better but still it just feels alittle bit like i just catch the teeth on the gears.
I feel the clutch could have abit more feel, but Iv been to guys at Mitsi
and they say it's fine, just to double check i took it to another and he said it was ok that's "NORMAL".
I just want to know if this box has a problem, and they just dont want to sort it.
I don't think this is down to driver error, so any help advise would a great help.
Many Thanks Noah's Dad
By the way it has full servise history, and has only done 59K

Most likely, it has gearbox oil thats a bit too thick, cheap or the wrong grade.
On Toyotas I find the Valvoline Duragear 75/85 semi-synthetic to stop the cold shift problem. The same grade is recommended for your Pajero.

ND, is it gradually getting worse? Sounds like the synchro on lower gears is wearing _I don't know the first thing about gear boxes :-) but have replaced a few as a youth (long time ago). My Pajeros were a bit snicky too I seem to remember. Try changing the fluid as suggested, but maybe just slow down your changes to avoid the snick. Otherwise get the synchro rings adjusted/replaced (remember - I know nothing) when it becomes intolerable.Bob

Try some slick 50 in the gearbox it worked for me.

My 2003 model is like that in third gear, has done it from the day I drove it
home. But doesn't always do it, sometimes it can be real smoth but every now and then I get a clunk going from 2nd to 3rd, as expected dealer says no problem.If I slow the change down a bit it never does it.
