Replying to: mikesLTD2001 (Mar 29, 2009 10:50 am) I have an identical problem and ready to purchase MR532787. Dealer wants $230. Does anyone know the place that would sale it cheaper?
#211 of 229 Montero overheats by doug_mckibbin Jul 19, 2009 (6:29 am)
My 1994 Montero 3.5L overheats quickly after about 1/2 mile driving but not at idle. After replacing the thermostat if the problem persists, how difficult is it to replace the water pump/timing belt? Or are there other easier to fix problems that might be going on? The radiator is clean and the coolant topped up.

Where is the fill valve for the A/C refrigerant on a 1994 Montero 3.5L? Do it take 134a?

Replying to: doug_mckibbin (Jul 19, 2009 6:29 am) How do you know if it really overheats? Does your gauge shows overheating? It could be a problem with a (1) gauge sensor, (2) gauge itself (less likely), (3) temp sensor. Incidentally, neither fixed my problem which now points to (4) circuit board located at the back of the instrument control cluster panel. It will be determined tomorrow at the cost of $95 by the dealer if its in fact faulty. If it is, it will be replaced at god-knows-how-much cost. But they promised the $95 check up fee will go toward the replacement. By the way, I still have a brand new gauge that I will sell to you if that's the problem. It costs $129 at the dealer and I will sell for $80 (inlcuding shipping). It fits 2000-2002 Montero Limited.

Replying to: igorveksler (Jul 19, 2009 1:28 pm) The gauge does show overheating and the motor is unusually hot so I don't think it is in the electronics. I'll have to replace the water pump and timing belt.
#215 of 229 A/T Control Relay by cinns Jul 21, 2009 (2:22 pm)
Hey ya.   We just bought a 2001 Monetro Sport LS, and the Service Engine Soon light came on. A trip to Auto Zone said it was a "P1751 A/T Control Relay" code. I am assuming that is the A/T relay that controls the A/T feature to start the transmission in second gear for slippery road conditions.   My question, if anyone can help me, is where can I find this relay and is it possible to change out myself without a very costly trip to a dealer? The guy at Auto Zone had no idea what it was or meant and referred me to a transmission place that wants to charge $1600 to rebuild the entire transmission. Ummmm yea.... NO! Not if it is just a relay switch that can hopefully be replaced.   So if anyone has any knowledge in this area, any help would be GREATLY appreciated!   Thanks, Cinns Replies to this message: cinns (Jul 31, 2009 12:06 pm)

Replying to: danyela (Jul 25, 2009 2:32 pm) Turn the key to ACC or On and then turn the radio on where it says "Off" again. Leave it for an hour untouched and it will shut off by itself. When you turn it back on, it will say CODE again.

Replying to: cinns (Jul 21, 2009 2:22 pm) Fixed the problem. I am posting this in case someone else has this trouble and needs help like I did.   I went to the local dealer and bought the A/T Control Relay for $25. They had to have it shipped, but it arrived in 3 days. The guy at the parts counter helped me locate the relay and gave me a computer printout of the general area where it was. The relay was located under the passengers side dash... behind the kickplate as they call it.   So... I plugged in the new one and all seems well. My Montero shift like it is supposed to and is not stuck in safety gear anymore. Hopefully it will stay that way, but for now I fixed it for a mere 25 bucks. So anyone that gets a P1751 error code... all you probably need is an electronic relay.... not a new transmission. lol   Oh yea... once I pulled teh old relay off... I could see corrosion on the wire pins and what looked to be rust as well. Wonder how that happened and if any more relays are damaged too.   Anyway... good luck to anyone else that has the problem I did.
#219 of 229 New owner (1996 Montero 3.5 V6), question regarding manuals. by speedstan Aug 12, 2009 (9:00 am)
Just picked up a 1996 Montero with a 3.5L V6, and am looking for a decent manual for minor repairs. Local Mitsy dealer wants $180, so that is out of the question. Checked both Chilton and Haines, who list manuals up to 1995, but not 1996. Is there an aftermarket manual that covers the '96 models available? I understand that this generation of Montero/Pajero was made from 1992-2000 (model years) and my version was offered from 1994-1996. Are there any significant differences that would allow me to get by with a manual covering 1995?   One additional question regarding code readers: standard ODB II for this year?   Thanks in advance!
