Q: what do i need to to a manual tranny swap into an automatic mitsubishi eclipse gsx?
I’m buying a 1998 mitsubishi eclipse gsx project car. it has auto tranny as it sits now. im wondering what i need to have make a auto to manual tranny swap possible.

A: Transmission, transfercase, clutch master cylinder & lines, pedals, shifter & cables, rear differential (different gear ratios for auto & manual). If you get a 95-96 tranny, get a 91-96 transfercase; If you get a 97-99 tranny, get a 97-99 transfercase. The front differential & transfercase have different gear ratios. The transfercase bolts up differently to the auto & manual trannies. Get a good clutch & pressure plate right away so you don’t have to do it when the clutch goes out from a couple hard takeoffs.

Get a good transmission from Shep, TRE, or Jacks Trans. Don’t make the same mistake as I did getting a ‘cheap’ one, those aren’t so cheap anyways and will be trouble.

Q: How can I turn my Mitsubishi Eclipse GST FWD to a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX AWD?
I live in Garden City, KS and I cant find any GSX’s for sale anywhere so im trying to turn my GST to a GSX cuz I want AWD.

A: you wont get far without a donor gsx so if you cant even find one, give up dreaming. after you do get one, youll need to change the flywheel tranny drivetrain gas tank downpipe and propbably minor things. there will be fabricating and welding. if you dont absolutely need awd, it wont be worth the trouble.

Q: Whats the module thats under the passenger seat of a 95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX?
Found a module under the seat of my 95 Eclipse GSX that i dont know what it is, i know the ECU is under the cd deck, i wanted to know if it was something important.

A: That maybe the audio amplifier. I had mine taken out when I upgraded my audio system.

Q: What is the difference between a Mitsubishi Eclipse Gsx or a gst?
Buying a car and i want to kno which one is better for me.

A: gsx = all wheel drive gst = front wheel drive. both are turbo, use the 4g63 engine. the gsx is the faster car off the line due to it not having traction issues. the gst is faster from a roll due to it being lighter. but with a few mods the gsx is faster than most cars. if you are going for anything higher than 350 to 400 hp then go with the gsx if less than 350 get the gst.

Q: Do Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX brake down easily? And if so what are the Costs?
I am looking at an 97′ Eclipse GSX and was wondering that since it is a older car will I have many problems? Would the engine need to be replaced if it has a high number of KM or Miles? What additional things might I have to replace and what might it cost?

A: Jase really doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The crankwalk issue he mentioned affected mostly the 95-97 model years. 98+ got a revised thrust bearing that helped alleviate the problem. It has nothing to do with long trips making lower than normal oil pressure. It DOES have something to do with the crank able to move (aka walk) within the bearings of the engine block. Most DSM’s didn’t get affected by it; some did and it ruined the reputation of the car’s reliability. My original engine (95 GSX) went 150k miles before I had a race engine built for it. Even at 150k it was still running strong because I took good care of it.

Q: 97 GSX Eclipse Mitsubishi rear rotor bolt size?
I need to take off the rear rotors from my 97 Eclipse GSX Mitsubishi. There is a bolt directly in the center of the rotors that is larger than one inch, does someone know the size, either metric or standard?

A: You don’t have to.

Q: white mitsubishi eclipse gsx bad transmission pricing?
my 1997 mitsubishi eclipse gsx 2.4l automatic has black rims about $400 for all four lambo doors and tinted windows. perfect interior and decent exterior and a shot tranny (transmission is dead) how much do you think i could get for this?

A: How do you have a 2.4 motor? Is it a stroker cause they only come in 2.0. Tranny will definitely take your price down big time. If they can’t drive it away, that leaves it only to the guys that want to wrench on it and they’re not the ones that go around looking for expensive cars. The shoddy exterior and Lambo doors aren’t going to help either. Just because it cost money to install doesn’t mean it raises the value. Expect to be lowballed around 1000-2000 dollars. I think you’d be lucky getting 3k in the condition it’s in.

Q: Where is the fuel pump and fuel pump relay located on a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX?
My car broke down on me while driving, everything else seems to be working, all the blets, baterry, alternator, its come to my conclusion that it might have something to do with my furl pump/relay. Help.

A: Bang on the bottom of the gas tank at the same time someone else tries to start the car. If the fuel pump is failing that may get it running long enough to make it to a shop. You check the timing belt and timing marks? I’ve seen plenty of jumped belts and bent intake valves. Got any compression when you crank the motor over?

Q: How to replace crank seal on 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX?
front crank seal is leaking really bad. how much do you think a shop would charge to fix this? how many hours? any miracle fix that might work even temporarily?
the timing belt, tensioner, plugs, wires, coil, and clutch were just replaced.

A: When the timing belt was done the cam seals and crankshaft seals should have been inspected and replaced if leaking. I have not seen many front crankshaft seals leak so make sure you double check the cam seals before doing all the timing belt work over again.
