Almont Mitsubishi Pajero V60 - V70 / V80 - V87 / V90 - V97 Automatic Gearbox and Transfer Skid Plate - Underbody Armour

Summary

The Almont automatic gearbox and transfer skid plate for Mitsubishi Pajero puts a physical barrier under the automatic gearbox and transfer case, where rocks, ruts, debris and scraping can turn a rough track, worksite lane or touring route into an expensive interruption. Built for supported V60/V70, V80/V87 and V90/V97 automatic applications, this skid plate helps shield the centre driveline section using certified Duraluminium AW5083 H111, with 6 mm SportDuty and 8 mm Heavy Duty choices to match how hard the vehicle is used. Compared with leaving the gearbox and transfer section exposed, it gives your Pajero a tougher sacrificial surface for underside contact.

Best For

• Pajero drivers using rocky lanes, rutted access roads, worksites or touring tracks where underside knocks are realistic.
• Automatic transmission vehicles where the centre driveline section needs added shielding from debris and scraping.
• Owners choosing between SportDuty 6 mm and Heavy Duty 8 mm armour based on expected use.
• Builds where material proof matters, with certified Duraluminium AW5083 H111 instead of an unknown generic plate.

Why It Is Worth Choosing

The gearbox and transfer case sit in a vulnerable underside position when a Pajero drops into ruts or rides over loose stone. A plate in this location is there to take or deflect hits before they reach important driveline parts, helping reduce the chance of trip-stopping damage from ground contact.

The Almont choice is practical at ordering stage too: SportDuty 6 mm is the thinner option in this product family, while Heavy Duty 8 mm gives a thicker shield for harsher use. Both use the same certified alloy specification, so the decision is mainly about the level of contact you expect.

Included Components vs Compatible Accessories

This product sells the selected skid plate for the protected driveline section in your chosen thickness. Other underside armour for tanks, differentials or front sections should be planned as separate purchases where your build needs wider coverage.

If your installer needs a full fitting parts list, ask Hoonies Adrenaline to confirm the box contents for the selected variant before ordering.

Fitment And Setup Checks

Use this part only when the Almont model, year range, chassis code and transmission/fitment details match your vehicle. The Pajero must be the relevant automatic application, and FAP equipment should be checked where it applies to your vehicle.

Because Pajero import, market and chassis details can vary, match the V60/V70, V80/V87 or V90/V97 code with the year range and underside layout before fitting. If the vehicle has previous underbody modifications, non-standard brackets or other armour already installed, check the setup before ordering.

How It Changes An Underside Knock

On a rocky climb or rutted site entrance, the first scrape under the centre of the vehicle can decide whether a knock is just noise or a component hit. This plate gives the automatic transmission and transfer case a physical contact surface beneath them, so stones and ledges meet armour before exposed driveline hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which thickness should I choose?

Choose SportDuty 6 mm if that matches your normal driving and the orderable variant you want. Choose Heavy Duty 8 mm when you want the thicker option for more frequent rough-track, worksite or touring use.

Is this for manual or automatic Pajero models?

This product page is for the automatic transmission and transfer application. Match your transmission, chassis code, year range and FAP notes before ordering.

Which part of the vehicle does this plate protect?

It is made for the gearbox and transfer section. If you want shielding for other exposed areas, build the rest of the underside setup with the correct separate plates for those locations.
