Let me quickly list everything currently wrong with the Mont that I’ve found so far:
Smell of cigarette smoke
All 3 passenger windows inoperable
Drivers window has some chips missing on the edge (not sealing out the wind very well)
Power mirrors inoperable
Oil pressure and voltmeter reading incorrectly
Compass gauge pod not backlit
Several instrument bulbs not working
Flashing front tire indicators on the Super Select thing
A/C knob on dash does nothing ...I live in Las Vegas
Runs terribly, low power
Pretty bad vibration while driving, especially while in 4th gear low rpms high load, and in drive creeping forward with foot off brake. It’s got no name tires which I’m sure aren’t balanced very well
Oil is covering everything below the valve covers lol
And the Main issue: CEL cylinder 5 misfire

I think those are all the issues. We will find more no doubt. Right now I’m focusing on the check engine light so I can get this thing smogged and registered.
I ordered plugs, wires, coils, pcv, fuel and air filters, valve cover gaskets with plug seals, intake gasket.
Was considering timing belt and water pump but I need to get this thing registered ASAP. Planning on revisiting that once I get a little garage rented (they need the car registered first). Gonna be doing the first service in my apartment parking lot.

Never-mind me, section is incomplete, as described by Chad above. ^^

Hi OP,
The only thing I've been able to come up with is try and use the pages from the 1992 FSM that are on mitsubishilinks.com. I'm not sure how much of this system is the same as the GEN1, but it might get you partly there.

I've looked there and the AC pages are not in that section. It only covers "Heaters". Pages 24-2 to 24-16 are the only ones there. Look for yourself..

Now all of you 2nd gen owners can outfit your trucks with brake lines that will outperform your tired worn out rubbers. Built here in the US to be DOT Compliant, so you can take them on and off road without a care. These lines are extensively tested and time has been taken to ensure proper fitment so they install easily. Have a custom suspension, or lift, we can tackle that too.

Grab a set now while they are on SALE!

Lol at the pooping shorts. That would be rough. At least she is a beauty!

He continues to provide good advice.

Look at the 1989 Engine, Chassis & Body reference? I found it pretty easily.

Good luck with your endeavors. Glad you made it.

If the engine has been changed, often this minor difference in plate thickness is not even noticed....because why, wtf Mitsubishi? Why would it be different?

I assume this is for a 4x4 correct? We will only need what your components came off of and if you have any additional lift. You should be a 7 line kit (2 on each front axle, one rear center, 2 on the rear axle).

We can get you the current sale pricing now if you are ready to pull the trigger?

The AC section is not included in the mitsubishilinks.com FSM...

Man that was a grueling drive... 18hours of driving total, got food poisoning and pooped my shorts and blew up about 4 gas station restrooms, got a CEL 500miles in, drove thru the desert with no AC, but the old girl got me home. Gonna sleep for 24hours straight now and next week start diagnosing and ordering some parts.

Sorry, I guess that's a pretty important detail. I've got the automatic.

I picked up the Monty. It idles pretty rough, oil pressure seems pretty low (10-30psi), lots of electrical gremlins (power windows, AC switch, lighting for the gauges, compass/thermometer, and probably more) But I think she’s got solid bones. It made the 100 mile trip to my sisters house, so what’s the harm in another 1100 miles? Gonna do plugs, wires, oil change and maybe some sea foam and hit the road tomorrow.

Trying to post some pics but not sure if it’s working

And, when the time comes, will need your support for Gen 2 Max with Sport front and rear disc conversion.

Go to mitsubishilinks.com and download the factory service manual. All your answers are in the book.

There are 2 different metal plates that go between the engine and transmission: one for automatic, the other for stick. Which do you have? The plates are different thicknesses.

My life has been lacking excitement for some time now so I decided to throw a Hail Mary. I bought a 1997 Montero SR over the internet and I’m flying to attempt to drive it 1000miles back home to Las Vegas. It’s a 97 SR, rear locker, 137,000 miles and looks to be in decent shape. I guess the plan is to pick it up tomorrow, do an oil change, trans drain and fill, spark plugs and wires and send it. Has anybody else bought a sketchy Montero and immediately gone on a long trip? I’d love to hear about it, advice, words of caution, whatever.

Nice write up. Let us know if you would want to change out for permanent crimped lines built to OEM length or your desired length, with Mitsubishi fitting and fasteners.

Ill shoot you and email, but we have a permanent Braided Stainless Steel Solution for you. We can even do the clutch line.

Mitsubishi Montero (1989-1991) V6 Stainless Lines

Yea, pretty sure they are incompatible.

Canadian,
I'm probably going to do the same thing if I have to pull the engine do address the flywheel problem. Did you source your rebuild parts on RockAuto or did you use a kit? I've never done a 2.6 before. How did your bearings and crank look? Did you need oversized bearings?

James

Monty,
Was going through the boards and saw that you had been offering turbo parts and I was wondering if you've already offloaded your stuff to Tux of do you still have some left? Am interested in the a turbo set-up mainly because it would come with a switch over to the Starion FI (I'm from Texas so Turbo and FI would be a huge help when I'm finally able to take it up to Ouray...My NA Renegade Trailhawk is a dog at altitude.

Thanks,
James
