I know it is old thread, but I am looking for high wing for eclipse, gsx 1999 2gb style. 1/24 or 1/25 scale.

From a 1996 GSX, a used AWD transmission and transfer case. It needs to be rebuilt. The intermediate shaft bearing failed, I did not go in deeper than that. My guess is a kit with all new bearings would do the job. I am near Los Angeles and you would have to pick up. I am really not into...

I searched this, some part numbers came up. Websites like Mitsubishiparts.com were not as helpful as I had hoped. AND - going to local auto parts stores: NAPA, Autozone, Oreilleys all were a fail for me on something that should be EASY. I wanted to purchase Axle seals for the front CV axles on a...

Thanks everyone. Trans needs to match Transfer Case - got it. Attached is the picture of my trans number. Kinda unreadable . Bummed. I took transfer case off last night to check spline count because a rebuilder in Oregon, (transmissionsexpress.com) asked for spline count. Starting to think...

another question: years ago I read something about the 1995 - 1996 AWD having a different ratio gear in either: transfer case, or differential/transfer case setup. Meaning that you could not swap certain driveline parts directly from a 1997 to 1999 AWD into a 1995 - 1996 (unless you did it all...

i have car lifted. looking for my transmission number. wish i had done this when i had it out of car, oh.. three times or so already.doh! where is the number that is supposed to be on the front. sorry for the dumb question. and thanks for the referrals, starting monday when these places open, i...

tried searching for all topics on replacing manual awd 5 speed trans in 1996 gsx looking for known rebuilders, kits, whole rebuilt trans. seems like not much talked about. which suprises me. Anyway, our stock 1996 GSX Eclipse awd 5 speed is toast. Ideally I would like to purchSe an already...

Hey everybody, I searched the forum - but did not find.Under the hood of the 1996 Eclipse GSX (all stock) I want a source of 12v power that comes on only when the key is on. After searching the fuse box with a volt meter and finding nothing that comes on only when the key is on I am thinking...

Rustynutt, I agree, if they would just put it on the machine it will pass. I go to a Chevron Station on 5th St west and Elizabeth Lake Rd/Palmdale Blvd (near you sort of) in Palmdale CA. One of the 3 test guys there fully understands Appendix J, and if your 1997 GS is in the Appendix J then you...

As suggested, maybe this mod would help.

Same thing happened to me on a 96 GSX and freaked us out! Could not solve this and it drove me nuts until...And I wrote about this somewhere on this forum - In the cabin. Where the throttle pedal is attached and the cable is attached and goes through the firewall. There was a piece of like...

I thought we had a page where we started collecting part numbers for reference. I am looking for part numbers for the two electric fans in a 2G Turbo.I have found MB924137 listed as a TYC 600320 and not even sure if that is the drivers or passenger side fan.I need both fans, not sure which...

To the OP. I live in Palmdale. I own a 96 GSX. The monitors will NEVER set, not even the dealer can get it. BUT - California has a document, I have a copy, it is on this forum. The document gives an exclusion to the monitors test. My smog guy on 5th St west and Palmdale Blvd has been doing this...

You all make your problem sound like the car is just sitting there at idle and all by itself it goes up in RPM. If that is true then I got nothin'.BUT - if you are stepping on the throttle an it does not come down. Then check this: Inside the cabin, at the throttle pedal, the throttle cable...

Good pictures. Frame straightening is actually like $300 in most places. Once the frame is square again everything else is not very difficult. I have had frames straightened maybe 4 or 5 times, a good shop does it for a fair price and then the rest is easy.Personally, for me, I believe that we...

I was surprised that there is no HOW-TO on replacing the radiator support. There were about 5 posts asking about it, but none showing it. Last time I cut a junkyard upper support from a donor 420A model and used the upper part in my GSX Turbo model. The donor part came out of a 420A style.But...

I no longer own the engine puller (cherry picker) to do the pulling on the bent radiator support. So I used a heavier vehicle, a cable puller, and for height a hand truck. When I need some straight forward pulling I went from radiator support to hitch, if I need to pull up (which it needed a...

NO WAY! - I am starting over AGAIN - it just got towed home. Like 4 years after the first time. Rear ended a car that stopped on the freeway here in California. Okay, who thinks that running into things is totally stupid! Seriously, when you all see the pics I will post it will be crazy. It...

You are going to need to be more specific. Pictures would help.A typical/general mechanic that only knows what the book or dealer says will probably only have some limited answers.Some parts on the rear of a 2G eclipse require you purchase a whole replacement part. Like a lower arm...

Yes there are quite a few. I contributed to one of them and posted both EPA and Appendix J docs.It is not the readiness issue of the car but the readiness issue of the Smog centers and the STAR testing facilities.Today we came across a facility that not only knew nothing about these...

Helping a friend in Ventura California smogging a new to them 98 GST that has trouble getting OBD II to read ready.Does anyone from the city of Ventura have a place that knows about the EPA doc and Appendix J doc that state ignore OBDII and do tail pipe test only ?Where I live in...

Here are the pictures of an open 2G sun visor from our 1996 GSX. We wanted to recover them and found they are a clamshell that is glued along the inside edges. The outside edges have teeth that simply hold the fabric and do little else.On the first one, that had the mirror and lights we...

Adjusting sounds easier as a first try. I presume it is done under the hood where the linkage connects.Anything to watch out for as far as problems when doing this ? Simply loosen the lock nuts and twist to shorten cables ?Or is there more to it than that.

In our 5 speed with a smaller than factory shift knob it seems our hand keeps hitting the faceplate of the radio when shifting. It is an aftermarket radio.I am thinking of sinking the sleeve of the stereo deeper into the console to give more room.Other than doing that I am stumped on...

I have 215/50/17 tires on all 4s. Eibach springs and camber adjustment kit on rear. It is a 1996 GSX so I presume it has 2Ga rear knuckles with less tire clearance.I noticed a slice in the edge of a tire and realized the rear inner fender lip is like a razor. Then I learned about fender...

Sorry to hijack this thread, but it looks like a good place to start.After having the passenger side upper knuckle (C arm) bushing go bad, we thought why not buy a complete Prothane 13-301 kit and do them all.And I am now sort of regretting it. But I must continue and am looking for some...

Attached is a picture of the throttle shaft that I just removed from the 96 GSX.On the spring side of the shaft is a black line of material and I can catch with my fingernail but cannot scrape off.Question: Is this shaft supposed to be smooth from end to end ?I know I am not to use...

Fresno - you'll come down the 99 or the 5 right ?MOD is great because everyone there has one thing in common - Mitsubishi.Free stuff - awesome booth babes willing to stop for a photo whenever.Great cars. Everyone very nice.When are you coming in and are you planning on staying...

New information - when I said not the cable I was wrong.In the cabin , where the cable comes in to the car at top of pedal.There is a plastic tube or sleeve over the cable, inches long. When you press down on throttle the plastic tube follows the cable out of the firewall.When we...

Well, that helps in that it must not be common for a TPS to cause this or something super simple.Now I can go after the less common. I checked the throttle plate, and it seemed good, but now I will drain the coolant, pull off the whole mechanism, will also go ahead and remove all the...

I just went and attempted to get OHM readings on pins for the 6 ISC pins and 4 TPS pins.I have 3 meters, one with a needle that only has 1K ohm setting and two digital meters with a setting for 20K that I used.The readings virtually make no sense. I am not confident they are correct...

Before posting I searched and read all I could about sticking throttle , cables, ISC , TPS, - hate having to post this but I must be missing something.2G turbo with cruise control - stock under the hood.1. Lubed throttle and cruise cables - they are now very smooth. 2. Disconnected the...

You already have what you need. The 1996, 97, 98 Eclipse will never have the monitors in a ready state. It is a fact, unless you follow some extremely difficult rules offered by Mitsubishi.I JUST went through this a few weeks ago.My 1996 Eclipse GSX has 5 monitors that refuse to go...

Okay - One year later. We had the car professionally painted. Hope you all think it looks good.The color was Cyber Metallic Gray. The independent shop we chose turned out to be a mixed bag of some great work, and some not so great work. I do have fog lights in now. Was able to buy many...

Thanks Wiseman. We have taken the wire off the horn behind the battery. The lights do the flashing still. Taking the light relay out of the maint underhood fusebox prevents headlights form working.There is a panel with a few relays inside under left of driver foot well. Next to the inside...

Factory alarm on 1996 GSX. No matter what button on the remote that I use the alarm goes off when I open the door.So the car is unlocked. Sitting there. I open the door, the alarm goes off.I can get in and start it, turn on the headlights. Shut off the engine, turn off the headlights...

Good advice. I will use the single sheet metal method, and use loctite to secure the threads.The 1996 hatch we have does not seem to have the area marked off inside, like people are saying exists on the 97 to 99. Since the 96 never came with a tall wing.We will take some pictures...

I do agree clay bar. And MeGuairs, Mothers, Turtle wax for the wash.Anybody remember TR3 Resin Glaze ? That stuff works great.But now I do use ICE from Turtle I think. It goes on EASY, comes off easy, works in sunlight or at night.Where I am the sun is brutal, regular waxes...

Is there a how to with pictures to put high wing on a car that did not have one ? Looked for a thread on proper way to mount high wing on a car that did not have one. We had a low wing, purchased a high wing. Going to trace the feet/base on both sides to make a pattern. Going to put holes in...

What time at Bev-Mo in Palmdale ??

Appreciate teh reminder that Willow Springs has Grudge Race on June 10.I cannot find anything else at the Willow Springs site or here.Could you help out and post some info like:1. How much to get in ? 2. Extra money for passengers? 3. What kind of inspection to race? Battery...

Disclaimer - have not done my Eclipse timing belt.... But when I did another asian car recently I found that I had to disconnect the battery for about 30 minutes after the belt replacement to get the engine to start.Of course all procedures demand that the batery is disconnected first...

Smaller wires go to low load side of relays (switch side) larger wires are for load side of relay (devices like lights, windows, headlights, etc..).Most electricians would error on side of caution and say get two sizes of wire. Matching the smaller wire with same gauge and larger wire to...

I want this thread to include a technical reference for those of us with stock Eclipse that want to add a front mounted inter-cooler to replace the stock one.For starters - what dimensions in inches will fit properly into the opening of the bumper ? These come in several categories: 2ga 2gb...

Please post more pictures of plumbing as you progress.I have a 2ga, replacing with a 2gb bumper and do not know which size in inches of intercooler to use. The car is 100 percent stock engine except for K&N intake and larger muffler and exhaust tip (stock exhaust to the back).Yes, I...

I am cool with breaking tie rod connections loose. But for our GSX (1996) we just drop the whole lower suspension and avoid the tie rods and joints and whatever.

Okay - apologies if this is a stupid question/suggestion/thought.Our 96 GSX had problems because the starter plate was from a FWD and not from a AWD.When we purchased the car there was no indication the engine had ever been out or replaced.But at some point (when the replacement...

Alright, I am throwing in my 2 cents on this. The 96 GSX came home with no taillights and I hafd to replace the relay next to the fuse under the hood.To me, being new to DSM, the relay and a fuse for every thing throws me off. In the old cars we just have fuses.So, pardon my...

Just recently did a Honda Civic and our 96 Eclipse.The Honda wanted the tie rod ends removed, used a pickle fork tool but next time will rent a clamp style popper.But the Eclipse did not require tie rod ends to be removed. We simply removed the whole lower control arm - unbolting it...
