97-98 Vs 99's

[Topple]

I was just wondering what the difference is between the 97-98 Eclipses Vs. the 99 model. I always thought they were the same, but Chilton's manual does not include the 99 model, and when I was looking for some control arms, they had some for the 97-98 Eclipses but 99 was not included and was not found from that company. Any thoughts...

I too have found that most things show as 95-98, but they always work on the 99, not sure why they do that. The only differences I know of is the white faced gauges, and the option for black leather. They are mechanically the same as the 98s. Guys, feel free to add if I have missed any....

maybe chilton was done with the manual in 98, and they just didn't bring a updated version out

The only difference in the 99's is the GS comes with an optional sports package which includes turbo spoiler, OZ Racing rims, chrome tip exhaust, dark leather, and white- faced gauges. The price is also about the same, only a bit higher than the 98's, unless you want the sports package with the GS which costs around 2K more. I'm not too sure about the Gs-t of Gsx but thats the kind of Gs I picked up

I'm sure you just covered them all actually.

The throttle body on on the 99 is diffrent from the 95-97 (not sure about the 98) but they moved a vacuum line from the throttle body to the intakemanifold.

I swapped a 99 motor in my 97 and it was one of a couple of things I rember that where diffrent.
