I purchased my 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX in 2010. Since then, I have installed 4 clutches and am on my second transmission with the first having to have the shift fork replaced, before breaking the shift fork again.I was also plagued with the notorious 1g clutch pedal assembly play and so on. I could never figure out why I kept breaking springs in the disks and having shifting issues. Well, I finally fixed the issues. I rebuilt the pedal assembly, realized the my clutch master cylinder is not OEM and fabricated a push rod to actually be able to extend far enough to not have any slack, and fabricated my front motor mount to align my transmission up with a brand new starter plate and dowels.
I used my old disassembled transmissions bell housing and mounted it to the engine with the the starter plate. With the alignment dowels in place I cut and ground down an M8 threaded coupler, I believe this to be the correct size from memory, that I purchased from ACE hardware, to meet the motor mount bracket. I tack welded it in place, with the bolt threaded in and snug, to the bracket and rechecked fitment. I proceeded to fabricate gussets for the top and front. They eyes were tacked into place and fitment and alignment of the transmission was checked again. After everything was where I wanted it to be, I dropped some serious welds on this. I even used a backing plate that makes contact with the starter plate, so friction would not grind through the plate. There are more details to this, but I feel that a proper writeup is necessity anyone has this problem. Lmk if this helps anyone out.
