Parts for your 1993 Mitsubishi Pajero-Pedal pads

1993 Mitsubishi Pajero Pedal Pads — Fitment, Purpose, and Service Tips

Pedal pads are absolutely fitted to the 1993 Mitsubishi Pajero. This is supported by Mitsubishi’s factory technical material: the Pajero/Montero workshop manual specifies inspection of pedal surfaces for wear, and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue lists replaceable rubber pedal pads for the brake (and clutch on manual models) across the second-generation Pajero (early 1990s). In short, they’re standard equipment, not an accessory.

On a ’93 Pajero, the brake and clutch pedals use slip-on rubber pads to give grippy, comfortable contact underfoot. The accelerator is a hinged treadle-style pedal that typically doesn’t use a separate removable pad. Good pedal pads matter more than most owners realise: they stop boots slipping in the wet, reduce fatigue on long drives, and help keep pedal feel consistent when off-road or towing.

Signs it’s time to replace them include hardening, cracking, glazing (a shiny, slippery surface), or edges worn thin so the pad won’t stay seated. If the ribs are smooth, the grip’s gone. In Australia and New Zealand, a missing or badly worn brake or clutch pad can attract a WOF/RWC fail because it’s a basic safety item.

• Visible cracks, splits, or chunks missing
• Shiny, slippery surface or no rib pattern
• Pad can be twisted or slips on the metal
• Oil-soaked rubber that won’t clean up
• Different feel left vs right pedal

Replacement is a quick DIY job: pry off the old pad, clean the pedal plate with degreaser, then warm the new rubber pad slightly and work it on, hooking the bottom first. For manuals, order both brake and clutch pads, for autos, you’ll usually only need the brake pad. Stick with quality OEM or reputable aftermarket pads sized for the Gen 2 Pajero to ensure the lip locks properly around the pedal plate.

As part of routine servicing, give the pads a once-over every 10,000–15,000 km or each oil change. Clean with mild soap and water or isopropyl alcohol, avoid silicone dressings and petroleum solvents that make rubber slippery or brittle. If you do creek crossings or beach work, rinse off grit and salt to protect both the rubber and the pedal pivots. Keeping the contact surface clean and the pad seated correctly is cheap insurance for safe stopping, on-road and out bush.

Does a 1993 Pajero have pedal pads on all pedals?

Yes for the brake and, on manual models, the clutch. The accelerator is generally a one-piece treadle and doesn’t use a separate removable pad. If in doubt, check the pedal face for a rubber sleeve with a lip—if it’s there, it’s replaceable.

How often should pedal pads be replaced on a ’93 Pajero?

There’s no fixed interval—replace on condition. Inspect at each service. If the surface is smooth, cracked, loose, or oil-soaked, fit new pads straight away to maintain grip and keep WOF/RWC inspectors happy.

Are aftermarket pedal pads OK for off-road use?

They’re fine if they match OEM dimensions and have a deep, grippy rib pattern. Avoid decorative alloy covers that screw onto the pedal—these can reduce wet-weather grip and may not meet roadworthy guidelines.
