Edit: My supply of paddle assemblies ran out early in 2021, and finding second-hand paddles at wreckers is too hard - the paddles assemblies are there, but I struggle to find wreckers who are interested in selling them. So I'm no longer selling complete kits; this thread is now closed.
I can still produce adapter wiring harnesses, and I have some stock remaining of Challenger steering column covers. For those who are interested in finding their own paddles assembly, please read this thread for more details.
As per this thread, I have been selling Gen 4 paddle shift kits for a little over two years. Being a manual driver at heart, preferring to make my own gear change decisions, I use my shift paddles continuously and wouldn't like to drive my Pajero without them.
Part of the process to make the kits required trimming the factory paddle assembly to fit inside the Pajero steering column lower cover, and hand-cutting slots into the cover.
More recently, some Mitsubishi enthusiasts in the Middle East advised that the steering column covers from PB / PC Challenger will fit the Pajero steering column, eliminating the need to trim the paddle assembly or cut the Pajero covers. I have finally found a source for the Challenger covers at a reasonable price, and can now offer Pajero install kits at a better price. I can also offer a complete kit to Challenger owners.
Pajero Kit
For Gen 4 Pajeros, the kit includes
• New genuine factory paddle shift assembly
• Screws to mount the paddle assembly to the steering column
• New genuine upper and lower column covers to suit paddles (no more hand-cut slots)
• A couple of custom plastic pieces to support the bottom of the paddle frame
• A Plug & Play wiring harness - no wire cutting or soldering required
• Installation instructions
The NS Pajero uses a different connector for the plug & play adaptor, so anybody interested in ordering will need to specify which vehicle you have: NS, or NT/NW/NX. There is no difference in the price.
Overseas owners with left hand drive vehicles need a slightly longer cable; again, no difference in the price, but please specify LHD.
Price:
The forum member price for this revised kit is $315, plus freight. Freight is typically $25 to cities and regional centres; I haven't yet shipped a kit to a more expensive location.
Please note:
- This install kit only allows the paddles to operate in Sports mode; to have the full factory-like functionality of being able to use the paddles any time, you'll need to also purchase m_and_m's awesome paddle-mate; for details, click here.
- This install kit is designed for plug & play interface to paddle-mate - those who DIY paddles will also need to DIY the paddle-mate install.
Challenger Kit
For PB and PC Challenger owners, the kit includes
• New genuine Mitsubishi paddle shift assembly
• Screws to mount the paddle assembly to the steering column
• New genuine Mitsubishi upper and lower column covers to suit paddles
• A couple of custom plastic pieces to support the bottom of the paddle frame
Please note that the factory covers on Challengers without paddles are too small to fit the paddle shift assembly, hence the need for new covers.
I believe most PB & PC Challenger have the factory harness including the three pin connector to plug in the paddles, but some may not. Please remove the lower steering column cover and look for an unused white 3 pin connector (as per the pictures below) on the left side of the column
If this connector is not found, I may still be able to help with a solution - PM me to discuss.
Price:
The forum member price for the basic Challenger kit is $200, plus freight. Freight is typically $25 to cities and regional centres; I haven't yet shipped a kit to a more expensive location.
