    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    I finally got around to installing some of the parts I’ve been accumulating on my GEN1 - uncracked passenger sill plate - console lid latch - drivers door weatherstrip - trans linkage boot (next to exhaust) - tensioned my PS and AC belts with the Gates Krikit gage (really recommend) - checked...

    89 GEN1 AW372 Manual Shaft Seal

    I installed one of the two seals and it fit great. Looked to be dimensionally identical to the one removed. I purchased mine through Toyota P/N: 90311-11003 The seal is a Koyo and has following markings around perimeter: 55 MHSA 11 22 6 I used the manual shaft tool from Napa for a TH350 trans...

    89 GEN1 AW372 Manual Shaft Seal

    Valid point, I didn't anticipate replacing the manual shaft seals until I had the pan off and realized that the pan gasket was not the source of my leak. Since this is my DD, I was hoping to get it back on the road quickly and not wait the delivery time from partsouq. Also, I had just received...

    89 GEN1 AW372 Manual Shaft Seal

    Hi All, Trying to find the source of a slow transmission leak in my 89. I pulled the pan last night hoping the pan gasket was the culprit, but pan bolts were all snug. With everything out of the way it's easier to see other sources. I see some weepage near the Manual Shaft on the Drivers Side...

    A small syringe works well for this. You can apply pressure with your thumb while pulsing the injector Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gen1 V6 heater hoses - any alternates?

    I believe RockAuto has one of the two required hoses. I ended up getting the kit from Megazip shipped from Japan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pitchblack Rally Recce Raider Build

    Hey, I picked up a viton m2.5x90 o-ring on amazon and it seemed to fit distributor well. Also, the headlight sprayers are probably deadheading against the splitter valve. I’ve had two rusted up solid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    GEN1 Steering Gearbox Rebuild

    Yea, I had looked into that earlier, but I didn’t want to create a suspension geometry problem to solve another I didn’t have yet. I have all the steering and suspension maintenance caught up, so I will probably just look at rebuilding another GEN1 box at some point. One strange thing is I...

    GEN1 Steering Gearbox Rebuild

    Hi All, I'm almost done with the rebuild of my front suspension and steering components (Ball Joints, Bushings, Tie Rods, Idler Arm etc). I pulled the old pitman arm last night to replace and I was originally going to just replace the output shaft seal on my steering gearbox, but I see that it...

    Opinions on Condition (based on these photos)

    Having lived in Chicago for 35yrs, I don’t see anything in your pictures that would be alarming. Some of the bolts may give you some trouble coming apart, but nothing that would stop me from buying. I have been impressed with the corrosion protection on hardware for many of the Asian brands...

    Airbag Recall Letter from Mitsu

    I found a recall on my GEN1 when I signed up for CarCare to track my maintenance. It was for a potentially faulty seatbelt buckle. Dealer checked it out, but I got a good laugh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pitchblack Rally Recce Raider Build

    The engine looks pretty unmolested with original rad hoses. Im sure you’ll find a lot of info here and 4x4Wire. A few things I did when I did my engine swap: - OEM heater core hoses - replace vac lines with silicone tubing - replace the cam plugs on back of head when engine is out - replace the...

    GEN1 lower control arm help

    Yea, that would have been nice. This was just a weekend project on my daily, so I needed to be sure it was reassembled by Monday. I’ll replace the lower ball joint when I work through the hub/brake refresh I will say I earned this one though. The old bushing sleeve didn’t come out without a...

    GEN1 lower control arm help

    I got it by swinging the CV assembly forward, but I’m stuck on lower ball joint. It is limited vertically by the CV shaft. I have the UCA and TIE disconnected Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    GEN1 lower control arm help

    Hi all, I’m working through the FSM on pulling my lower control arms. Is it required to pull the CV axles to get the height for the lower control arm bolts out? I’m stuck on this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    GEN1 Turn Signal Switch Help

    Turn signals stopped working again. I checked the flasher which was installed last summer and I noticed a bunch of rusty water. Not sure where water is coming from, perhaps a leaky window seal. Is this blinker fluid....LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    Swapped out my old drivers seat with another old one...minus the wear Also installed an elusive alternator belt guard, although I’m not sure what the specific need is. I’m generally not laying on my engine while it’s running Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
