As above folks, don't have this pajero long and trying to get rid of the niggles, when I accelerate it starts to shudder from 1800-2100 rpms. I can't figure out out and wonder if it's serious?

Keep forgetting to add the model, it's a 2003 swb pajero 3.2 did. When I let go of the accelerator there is a slight rattle for a moment also. But it only does that judder/hesitant to rev thing while accelerating.

I'm guessing its a manual. That judder is happening at peak engine torque, I would say your imminently going to get a large bill for a new clutch and DMF.
This is the point you tell me its an auto....... Laughing

Cheers worm, I had suspected it but didn't want to mention it. You really made my night lol. What kind of money am I looking at? Can I go solid or is it bad idea

It's doing it in neutral also if that makes any difference

What about in neutral with the clutch down?

As kgrs4 said, what about when clutch is down.
I have hac dmf cause vibrations and a wobbly feeling at idle but clutch down helps level it out.
thats a good way to confirm if its dmf or not.
plus also on some you can get clutch at bite point, listen for a bang, another thing to confirm if faulty but they fail in different ways so not every flywheel gives same answer.

Thanks for the input and advice all, I'm going to get rid of it and get an automatic as I do alot of towing. The dammed thing hasn't gone right since I bought it anyway. Was spend, spend and more spend and there's no way I'm forking out for a dmf. Auto here I come. Mitsu need to get there act together with this dmf bull. Reliability is the name of the game. It's all cruisers around here but I like the pajero. Hopefully I'm luckier with an automatic

Hi geodrome, excuse my ignorance but where do I find these speed sensors and how do I check them? Thanks mate

They are on the diesel pump where it goes on to the engine, one on the side and one on the top..
I take it the symptoms are there driving or stationary, in gear or out of gear and clutch in or out . Any other issues?

Cheers geodrome, the issues are there when driving and stationary. No other issues as of yet. Trying to track down a nice automatic swb but they are like hens teeth it seems. Grrr *beeb* dmfs.... The joy

Forgot to add is the same in and out of gear. I'll check with the clutch in and out later. It's also giving a slight kick when I start it. I'm defo thinking dmf, fingers crossed it isn't though.
