Hey guys, my 1996 eclipse gs with the 420A motor coolant fans won’t kick on their own causing it to over heat. When the AC is on both fans will run. However, when the AC is NOT on the cooling fans will not turn on on their own. I replaced the coolant temperature sensor and sending unit which did...
Hey guys, so on my 2g GS I keep having issues with the throttle position sensors. They will cause my car to idle surge and shift rough. After replacing everything works great then a few months down the line the same thing happens again. Rinse and repeat. What could be the issue? The connector is...
Hey guys I’m really wanted to lower my 2g eclipse (gs) I really just want it for the looks. It’s my daily driver and doesn’t really get driven hard (due to it being a gs and super slow) but I was wondering what your opinion on coilover brands are. I heard really good things about tein and BC...
Hey guys, from the title it sounds like I’m trying to swap my headlight bulbs to LEDS but that is NOT the case. I currently have 2 led lights mounted where the intercooler goes on gst’s and gsx’s. I want to be able to activate the lights only when the high beams are on.My question is, what...
Yes I went to alignment shop the other day and they informed they cannot align it. Because it’s a GS, the transmission is on the left side of the vehicle and there is a differential leak I cannot seem to fix no matter what I try. The problem is the leak gets onto the lower control arm bushing...
Hey guys I have a 96’ eclipse GS with the Chrysler 420a engine and Chrysler a604 41te transmission. The pump cover/ differential cover leaks transmission fluid. I’ve had this problem for a long time now and cannot figure out a fix. I’ve tried to fix this many different ways. First I tried using...
Hey guys as the title says, my front tires have too much negative camber. It’s wearing on the inside pretty bad. With no camber adjustment from factory, how do I fix this?
Well, it always has a small oil leak but at idle I can see smoke coming out of the exhaust and smell burnt oil so I figured it’s most likely my top end
As the title says, 2g GS is burning oil. I’m trying to figure out if it’s the head gasket, head, or rings. I have a feeling it’s the head gasket as it had a slight overheating issue but I always shut it off before it could get too hot. Is there a way I can test where it’s burning oil from...

Hey guys, my 2g GS has recently been overheating only at idle. I’ve replaced the sending unit, sensor, thermostat, and did a full radiator flush. That still didn’t fix my problem but I then took both hi and low relays out and cleaned off the prongs to see if there was a bad relay. The fans now...
Hey guys recently I’ve had an issue with my 2g overheating. The radiator fans work because when I turn the AC they kick on but when I’m sitting at idle there’s nothing then it begins to overheat. I’ve replaced my water pump 4,000 miles ago when I did my timing job and just replaced the sender...
Hey guys, about 2 years ago I bought my first DSM. A 1996 Mitsubishi eclipse GS. Yes I know it’s a GS and everyone tends to hate on them… but I’ve done a lot of work at got it working mint condition with many many trips to junkyards and eBay for interior parts, but I’m looking to sell my gs and...
Hey man so I’ve got the kit but I’m having trouble getting the seal to slide on with the install tool. I don’t want to force it but what do you recommend?
As the titles says I’m looking for the 41te pinion gear bolt torque I cant find much and I’ve done as much research as possible but I don’t have a definitive answer
So I’ve been doing some reading on the 41te differential pin breaking causing it to completely destroy the case as it rotates. I’ve seen pictures of wings that hold the pin in place on newer models and I’d like to install these on my differential as a safety precaution.On the differential...
Hey guys! I’m going to embark on a journey of changing my main seal due to a leak. I have a 1996 Eclipse GS with a Chrysler 420A and Chrysler A604 41te automatic transmission. I had some questions about the removal of the transmission and the access to the main seal. Is the torque converter...
Okay so, I have the automatic Chrysler A604 41te. So when removing the transmission, is the torque converter connected to the engine or transmission or both?
Hey guys! On my 1996 Eclipse GS I have axle seal, main seal, and differential leaks. I am in the process of removing the transmission in order to fix all of these leaks.Before I severely screw something up I wanted to ask for your advice. Is there tips you have for removing the transmission...
Hey guys, so i have a 2g GS and this will be the 4th time replacing the IAC valve. My symptoms are a sputter at idle and on initial acceleration from stop or slow rolling. I figured it could be a fuel issue but I have ruled that out, replaced filter and pump, injectors are good. It’s also not an...
Hey guys, I recently got new (remanufactured) front brake calipers and I’ve had some issues and noticed a tiny leak at the base of the bleeder screw. As well, when I barely crack open the bleeder screw ,on any caliper of the car, it leaks at the base of the screw instead of bleeding through the...
So in my eclipse *no sunroof* I recently got the review mirror with the reading lights that goes on the models with a sunroof. I can’t quite find a definitive answer on the size of the bulbs. As well as the review mirror lights, I want to replace the overhead light bulbs and I’m not sure of the...
I’ve been trying to find the part number on the 2g eclipse reading lights. It’s the only thing I’m missing in my headliner and have some interior lights would be nice lol. It’s a non sunroof BTW
I have a 1996 Eclipse GS. I've been having trouble with the brakes for a long time. When i bought the car the brakes were spongy, and they still are spongy even after:Replaced master cylinder (I did do the bench bleed)
Replaced all brakes
Replaced all soft lines going from caliper to hard...
So my 2g Eclipse GS is running rough. It ended up not shifting at all and engine was having idle issues. Replaced TPS and IAC. Engine idles and shifts great. Well, it sounds like it’s completely lost cylinder 3. I had a suspicion it might be spark plugs. I started the car and disconnect the wire...
So my car recently decided to take a massive shit. Everything was going fine but then SIMULTANEOUSLY my break pedal firmed up (have had ongoing issues with soft pedal) I had shift issues and idle issues. I’m going to guess it’s a vacuum leak but the car won’t shift until around 5000 rpm. It’s a...
So I have 2g Eclipse GS with a Ultradrive 41te.I recently replaced the differential gasket with Permatex 81180 and it still leaks but 4 days after which is okay the car started shifting extremely hard and missing not shifting into overdrive at all I checked fluid and it’s good. It was driving...
I have a 2g Eclipse Cigarette lighter assembly (without lighter) that I pulled out of a scrapped 2g center console. I figured I’d ask if anyone needs one because parts are becoming rarer these days. I tested it and it works👍🏻
So I have a 2g Eclipse GS. The brakes have given me trouble since day 1 of owning the car.Since owning the car the brakes have worked, they stop the car, but I feel they should be working better than they do.I’ve bled the brakes in order of
Passenger rear
Driver rear
Passenger front...
I have a 1996 Eclipse GS hatchback. The headliner is non existent, there is just metal. There is no sunroof and I can’t find a brand new one or a used one for a reasonable price. Is there a way I can custom make one?
My 1996 eclipse 420A is burning oil… big surprise. It’s got 126,000 miles I change the oil every 3000 miles. I don’t really have the money to pull the head, or do a rebuild. I’ve read some people use rotell while others are using 15w-50. I know thicker oils are just a band aid for burning oil...
To start off the headliner on my 1996 Eclipse GS is sagging. I know about how to normally fix those but this is different. There is not really an actual headliner. It seems to be some sort of foam just put in place so it looked alright. (I was 16 and stupid when I bought the car) but I’ve been...
How do I go about filling it back up after?There is no drain/fill bolt on my transmission. I’m still trying to learn quite a bit about cars but I do still need some help. Thanks
What do you mean in this section “ i looped the prop likes back into the res pot and basically self bled the master on its self and once no more bubbles came out then they held the pedal down so the master is CLOSED and re attached it to the prop valve again, then the bleeding process begun.”...
I’ve been reading everywhere but I can’t seem to find guide on the 420a with an auto transmission. I’m looking to change the fluid filter and gasket as well as differential gasket. I can’t find a drain or fill bolt anywhere and I’ve sat under my car looking for the past 30+ mins. I don’t want to...
As the title suggest my brakes are spongey.I bled them 3-4 times without any air coming out. This led to me believing I needed a new master cylinder. I bought the master cylinder, I did a bench bleed, put the part in the car, and finally I bled the brakes in order ofPassenger rear...
I’m unsure of my cars blower motor. It blows air and operates at the different speeds but I feel like it could push more air out. I’m not sure if it’s just that new cars are better but no matter what it doesn’t seem to really be pushing as much air as desired. I’ve been having trouble with the...
On my 1996 eclipse GS (420A) I don’t know if my expansion valve or compressor is bad. When I turn in the AC with a gauge connected to the high and low side of the AC, the high side doesn’t drop pressure and low side doesn’t gain pressure. I’m not sure if this is a symptom of a bad expansion...
I’ve heard that I have the 4g63 but then other sources tell me I have 420A. It’s a 1996 Eclipse GS. I don’t know what to believe.Can someone please give me clarification. I want to turbo charge it but I’ve heard the 420A with send a piston through the head. Thank you!
