The Mitsubishi Montero, introduced in 1982, marked the beginning of a legendary lineage of off-road capable SUVs. The 1984 model, the subject of this service repair manual, solidified its place as a robust and versatile vehicle. This first generation Montero, also known as the Pajero in some markets, was a unibody SUV built on a ladder frame chassis, providing a sturdy foundation for its off-road capabilities. It was initially powered by a 2.0L 4G63 gasoline engine, renowned for its reliability and durability, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Though not as powerful as its later successors, the 1984 Montero possessed a relatively light weight and a high ground clearance, allowing it to tackle challenging terrain. The vehicle's four-wheel drive system, featuring a part-time selectable transfer case with low-range gearing, further enhanced its off-road prowess. The 1984 Montero was designed with a focus on both practicality and comfort. It featured a spacious interior that could accommodate up to five occupants, with a fold-down rear seat that increased cargo capacity. The dashboard was functional and user-friendly, providing essential controls and gauges within easy reach. Though amenities were basic compared to modern SUVs, the Montero's no-frills approach contributed to its rugged and reliable nature. This generation of Montero was instrumental in establishing Mitsubishi's reputation for building tough and capable off-road vehicles, paving the way for the iconic status the nameplate would achieve in subsequent years. While the 1984 Montero might lack the modern features and creature comforts of its successors, its enduring legacy lies in its pioneering spirit and unyielding capability, making it a cherished classic among off-road enthusiasts.
