Parts for your 1992 Mitsubishi Pajero-Pedal pads

1992 Mitsubishi Pajero Pedal Pads — Purpose, Care and Replacement

Pedal pads are absolutely used on the 1992 Mitsubishi Pajero. Factory sources such as the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue for NH/NJ series (1991–1996) and the Pajero workshop manual note rubber, non-slip pads on the brake (and clutch on manuals). The common Mitsubishi part number listed for the brake and clutch pedal pad is MB241381 across many Pajero variants of this era. The accelerator is typically a one-piece pedal with an integral tread rather than a separate rubber pad, depending on trim and market.

These rubber pedal pads exist to give solid grip in all conditions, reduce vibration through the foot, and help meet safety expectations for non-slip pedal surfaces. On a 4WD that sees mud, sand, and wet boots, that grippy rubber is more than a comfort item—it’s a bit of everyday safety kit.

As part of regular servicing, a quick pedal pad inspection is smart workshop practice. If the ribs are worn smooth, the rubber has gone shiny or hard, there are cracks or chunks missing, or the driver’s foot slips when wet, it’s time to replace. Pajeros used in off-road or tradie work can chew through pads faster, so don’t wait for a WOF or rego check to find out.

• Check pedal pads every service or 10,000–15,000 km.
• Replace if the grooves are mostly gone, the pad has hardened, or contamination (oil/grease) can’t be cleaned out safely.
• Manuals have two pads (brake and clutch), autos have one (brake). The accelerator is generally not a separate pad.

Replacement is a quick, low-cost job. Pry the old pad off (a flat screwdriver helps), clean the metal pedal face, and warm the new pad in hot water to make it supple. Then hook the bottom lip over the pedal and roll the pad on. No glue required—just a snug, even fit. If the accelerator tread is damaged, replace the whole pedal assembly per the workshop manual rather than trying to retrofit a universal cover.

Care tips: keep mats anchored so they can’t ride up under the pedals, wash off mud and grit, and avoid silicone dressings that leave things slippery. After fitting, press each pedal to confirm full, unobstructed travel and proper return.

Popular questions about 1992 Mitsubishi Pajero pedal pads

Do all 1992 Pajeros have the same brake/clutch pedal pad?

Most 1992 Pajero variants use the same style rubber pad on the brake and clutch (commonly referenced as MB241381 in Mitsubishi parts catalogues). Autos will only have the brake pad, manuals have both brake and clutch pads. Always check the VIN against a parts catalogue to be sure.

Can universal metal pedal covers be used on a Pajero?

They can fit, but they’re not ideal for a 4WD that sees wet boots and mud. Cheap metal covers can get slippery and may foul pedal travel if they’re not secured properly. A quality OEM-style rubber pad gives better grip and keeps the cabin closer to factory spec.

How long do pedal pads last?

It depends on use. A touring Pajero might see 3–7 years out of a pad, one that does regular off-road work or has lots of city stop-start driving may need replacements sooner. Go by condition: if the ribs are worn flat or the rubber is hard or cracked, replace them.
