Mitsubishi 4M40 Manual Gearbox Replacement
A replacement 4M40 manual gearbox can be an excellent solution when your original transmission is experiencing problems such as difficult gear selection, excessive noise, damaged gears, or worn internal components.

5 Speed Manual Transmission for Mitsubishi Pajero
The 5 speed manual transmission for Mitsubishi Pajero 2.8 4M40 provides a conventional manual driving experience with multiple forward gears suitable for different driving conditions.
The lower gears can provide the control and torque multiplication required when starting, climbing, carrying loads, or travelling over challenging terrain. Higher gears are useful for maintaining comfortable engine speeds during normal road driving.
For 4×4 owners, having the correct transmission is particularly important because the gearbox works together with the clutch, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials, and other drivetrain components.
Suitable for 2.8 Diesel 4M40 Applications
This gearbox is intended for applications using the Mitsubishi 2.8 4M40 diesel engine and should be matched against your vehicle’s exact model, year, drivetrain configuration, and existing gearbox specifications before purchase.
Because Mitsubishi Pajero specifications can vary between markets and production years, customers are encouraged to compare the gearbox identification details and mounting configuration with their original unit.
