i recently stopped driving my eclipse for two days because of a misfire i was getting parts for , when my dad went out to drive it he said that the shifter is hard or stiff . when i got home to check it out it was hard to move to reverse , neutral and such like it was metal rubbing on metal like...

Ok,The Eclipse... beautiful car, amazing handling all of it...But I am losing my mind with this shifter.Backstory: When I bought this car it was someone elses project car. And everything the previous owner did to it seemed fine and done with taste.However he claimed he installed a short...

Okay so basically I installed a ACT 2600 with a act 6 puck Sprung clutch and a streetlite flywheel along with some ARP flywheel bolts (I believe the 30mm but I am not 100% sure)I recently cracked the casing of my Transmission so I decided to change the clutch while changing transmissions. I...

Hello,My head is spinning reading all of the threads trying to figure out what I need to do to install a 92 shifter base (inside the car) onto a 1990 DSM with a 1990 trans and cables?I am questioning this because I heard the 91-94 shifter base assemblies have a shorter throw. Well I guess I...

Hey guys, so I’ve seen other posts on short throw shifters but I’m looking for a comparison between the different styles and what the pros and cons are. First we got the Megan racing/b&m style short throw shifter. Than we have the fidanza. And finally the ralco Rz. Both the ralco rz and fidanza...

Any one have a reliable part number/part combination for a replacement shift cable. The original is snapped, and of course Mitsubishi hasn't had one in 10 years and I can't even seem to find any in any junk yards via car-parts.com (even though a couple were listed, called and they were gone) I...

As we all know, our beloved cars are getting older by the minute and the sloppy shifters that are now in these old cars usually need their own maintenance so here is a list of Repair parts and Vendors or Suppliers for the old, worn out parts all in one thread. If I have missed something, let me...

F4A33, IPT Valve body, Forced Four SMART 100.1 TCU, Polyurethane mounts, probably going to order IPT end clutch. Trying to decide whether to go with the 3G shifter or a B&M Stealth Pro Ratchet.The question I have on the manual valve is... (Snip. See posts #3 and #10)3G Features / Pros I’m...

Hi all, when it is in Second, Fourth or Reverse gear it has that space, didnt have it until a moment ago? Got a video:You must be registered to see element.

Hey guys, there are some really nice shifter assemblies our there for other cars and I'd like to use one from an Acura Rsx. The problem is the cables are shorter for the rsx, if I can get my hands on a set of stock RSX cables would that be ok? The pictures all look like they will fit onto the...

Making the thread for the solution in case someone googles this like i did, with the exact same issue, to no avail. Ended up finding out what worked myself after about 2 hours of troubleshooting at 1am with a phone flashlight. Here's what worked for me.There's a retaining clip on the shift...

I have swapped 1990 1.8L 4g37 for 1992 4g63 including tranny KF5M222VPZ / PA9159. I left the 1990 shift cables in. Now when I shift there is not enough travel/throw to fully reach 1st and 3rd gears (only half-way) but there's enough travel to engage 2nd and 4th gear. The whole offset of the...

I am trying to remove the plastic on my center console so I can get to one of the bushings on my shifter and to change something for the handbrake, but I don't see any bolts or clips to take it off? I checked on the sides and in the middle storage area. Can someone post pics or give a specific...

I was hoping some one could tell me where the bushing sleeve is supposed to go. It is the one that comes with the symborski style metal bushing kit from extreme psi. The two links I found writing up where to install it are both dead. Anybody have this and care to share where it goes? You must be...

So I followed the VFAQ instructions when installing the Symborski bushing kit. I put everything back the way it appeared. Although the shifter is in gear, it does not stay in that position whether left, right, forward, or reverse. VFAQ suggested to adjust the shifter cables. I haven't tried this...
