Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi guys,

my 1997 3500 V6 Petrol 6G74 Gen2 Paj is giving me problems with the auto gearbox. Gearbox doesnt shift down from D, I can force it however to lower gears manually. So mechanically everything works for a couple thou kms already.

Had it at Mitspro standing for nearly 2 months (different story in its own), they checked all sensors etc and concluded that the gearbox ECU must be faulty. They couldn't find a replacement one for weeks, so I took the car back as i needed it for a trip.

Now, my questions:
a) where is the gearbox ECU so that i can get the part No
b) any good tips where i can mailorder a 2nd hand ECU? (OZ? US?)
c) if i have the replacement one in my hands, can I just unscrew/unplug the old one and put the new one in?
d) anyone has a tip for me for a Mitsu specialised garage in Joburg? Can't haul the car to Pretoria every time i need a fixing

finally: will be leaving the country in a couple months, anyone interested in my car?

Thank you very much for your replies!!!!

If you find it, take a pic and post it to me - and a serial number. I might have one available.

Hi
Did you found the transmission ECU. I am doing a 1UZ Lexus engine swap to my 1997 Blister fender Pajero. And wondering how to control the transmission.
Use the Pajero ECU or run it from the Lexus ECU.

I suspect the black ECU under the bonnet is the transmission ECU.
As engine ECU is under the handglove compartment
