To be clear (I think you were pretty clear in your post), but you used two of these Delphi TD896W to replace the bushing only on both an L300's lower transmission mounts; reusing the brackets. A very nice alternative (<$12 on RockAuto!!) to MB581258 and MB581261 which are OEM and include brackets!?Hello friends, just did a input shaft seal and bushings on the Aisin 03-72l 4 speed transmission for my girlfriend's 93' exceed 46G4 gas Delica. Wanted to share some knowledge gained that will help anybody attempting to make your trans better insulated and not a constant loss lubrication system.
Symptoms:
Atf (red fluid) dripping from bottom of bell housing, especially while in gear.
Parts used:
Input shaft seal:
Ebay trans seal
Ton of overlap parts # wise but this one worked for us.
Upper trans crossmember bushings:
Per GrowlerBeamNZ's recommendation used these Nissan bushings and trimmed them 5mm in width to fit the crossmember
FEBEST NAB-134 BUSHING
Lower transmission mount bushing:
Quick rant about this, don't buy these from Delicausa.com ($45 a piece) because all he does is order these ones below off ebay ($12 a piece) and send them to your house. Nice scam he's running there.
Delphi TD896W (L300 lower trans mount compatible)
This required a hacksaw to cut the old bushing race and a hammer to pop them out. We used a vice and hammer to get all bushings back in. The input shaft seal required a small hole drilled carefully in the face of the seal and a screw to remove the old one.
That is correct! same diameter, reused and painted the bracketsTo be clear (I think you were pretty clear in your post), but you used two of these Delphi TD896W to replace the bushing only on both an L300's lower transmission mounts; reusing the brackets.

Porter and Grace are both H-100 related... much like the Truck/Van L300 variances.but occasionally it points me at parts for an H-100 on sparekorea causing some skepticism
Just about any diesel fuel filter/separator would be "compatible"... I would buy/install that w/o concern (even if you couldn't connect the warning light; which I'm about certain can be modified to work as well).This one by Hyundai 3197043251 is an especially good package deal (if it's compatible). Includes the fuel filter, body, and water separator (*might* need wiring modification) all in one unit for like $29 USD (vs. $57 USD for just the body mitsubishi oem).
For front brake hoses, I believe the absolute best thing is to upgrade them to Stainless Steel. Follow the thread here for the lines. The hardest is getting the adapters to adapt the hoses from 3AN to 10mm metric. I just bought 3AN to 3AN and then reflared my front lines and installed a 3/16 3an fitting. Worked like a charm. https://starwagon.info/front-brake-upgrade/Having the hardest time tracking down two sets of front brake hose: MB238158 and MB500748. (I realize the line on the left still has the clip on it.)
Any thoughts would be great! Thanks.
Part# MR03540316894Just learned that the lack of heat in the front area is because the front blower motor needs to be replaced. Any idea what the part number is and if I have any options other than original delica parts? I have a 1993 L300 diesel star wagon 4×4
DENSO 162500-4390 is stamped on my 1991 L300's blower motor.Just learned that the lack of heat in the front area is because the front blower motor needs to be replaced.

This is the stuff that drives old vehicle owners nuts. You replace one thing, and it seems like something else went as a result.All that said my original blower motor bench tests fine, but there is a discernible difference in heat coming from the vents now that I've replaced it.

Anyone know of a good source to get one of these? Installed new belts and they just keep squealing even after tightening them up a second time. Can't really see if the rubber is coming apart but after reading everything it seems this is a common failure point so I'm just going to replace it. Second question, I don't think the tensioners are making noise but do most people just replace it all as a set? We are right at 100,000 miles and it's a daily driver.Hyundai part #23124-42001 Damper Pulley (Harmonic Balancer/Crankshaft Pulley) fits the 4D56T and costs ~ 50% of the Mitsubishi part. OEM quality at Febest price...

I did install the matched set, I'll check them one more time. Thanks for the link-
If you didn't install the matched set of OEM belts, that's more likely the problem.
