Hi all, new guy here and new to the Mitsu Eclipse world.
I am in the process of finding a suitable car to run in IMCA Sport Compact oval dirt tack races. FWIW, Sport Compact is a very basic factory stock level of car prep. One of the possibilities, based mostly on horsepower to weight ratio, is the Eclipse. One of the things I want the car to have is a manual trans, but finding a 4 cylinder with a 5sp isn’t easy around here. I do come across a number of Eclipse’, but most have automatics.
Given that my questions are – are the Mitsu automatic transmissions overall strong? Are there any specific weak links I might be able to address while prepping the car?
Thank you in advance for your input.
