Good to hear another people know how to care thier beloved mk1  

But beware,put a mk1 onto 4WD in a Paved road(tarmac) it must be in 4H,no tight turning,sudden released clutch/accelerating,4L should be use only on slow speed driving,if the precaution are not be taken,then serious damage to the transfer-case might result

This is really useful info.... Thanks

I have a 1992 Paj. 3000 V6 autu.  Is there a recommended maximum speed at which you can travel in 4H on normal roads ?

Since i owned my mark-1,when i use the 4WD on the road in 4H mode,i usually drive between 80-100Km/h,they can go alot faster but i keep the pressure on the acclerator constant,in 2H i can push it nearly 180(172-175)Km/h if there is a really straight road

4L is a really LOW ratio gear,and thats is the SECRET WEAPON  of the paj,it equalise the torque came from the engine to 3.5 times bigger to drive the wheels,thats mean 3 engine are driven the paj now,many 4x4 can't beat it

i usually drive in about 50-60Km/h,they can go even faster,but the forest aren't big enought to run at that speed

Do you definitely need to stop, in a Mk2, to go from 4H to 4Hlc (ie to lock and unlock the centre diff)? Also, when I went on a test drive the car salesman reversed after being in 4WD to get back into 2WD, something to do with auto free wheeling front hubs?

Great advice. I have learnt a thing or two, since I rarely use the 4WD function. 1) Maybe the reason y the 2WD keeps jamming is because of inadequate lubrication flow (I will try to engage 4WD some more and hopefully see some difference). 2) The manual for my Mark-1SWB strongly discourages shifting from 4H-N-4L when vehicle is moving and insists that one MUST stop the vehicle. I guess there must be a good reason for that. Good day.

You can move from 2H to 4H without really stopping,but moving slowly and had the clutch depressed or Auto in Neautral,if from 4H to 2H it can be done at any speed with the clutch pedal depressed or Auto in Neautral

If going in to next upper position than 4H it need to stop or you will have a nasty GRINDING,because like Cameron says that it's dosn't had any Synchronizer it just gear grip to each other and i had a friend had snap a chain in the transfer-case on the 4x4 Cherokee that he dosn't stop to shift to 4L,the whole transfer-case explod ,i think Pajero transfer-case dosn't had chain inside it

But Mostly MK-2 had a Vacuum type front axle disconnect that noneed to reverse or engage the front axle manually,it's engage automatically once the transfer-lever at 4WD mode

You can still lock the Hub if the 4WD are use intermittently,but it tend to unlock when you turn a tight U-Turn or starting on a downward slope or reversing,so if you are Manual and it's a Diesel don't play with the clutch by revving up the engine and letting off clutch suddenly,sudden force could break something

yeah i thought it was chain driven too wilson, when i pull my spare gear box apart next wednesday ill try and do the transfer at the same time and let u know

[Pajero 4D56]

After some searching and asking i find that i was wrong,it was chain driven to transfer power from the rear layshaft from the gearbox to the front probshaft

No EDIT again

Just add the information on about the Locking Hub,hope this will help
