I just brought a 97 2nd G eclipse N/T with everything stock but I'm have some trouble with my trans. It's goes in to every single gear prefect with the car on or off when I go to take off in first gear the car acts like its going to stahl out. So I don't try to drive or anything because I don't want to damage something else and it also have a little coolant. Some people having been saying that it could be a motor mount, trans mount, trans cables and etc.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be I just need some help and advise to figure out what's going on. Thanks
 
First things first, low coolant is not good. If you just got the car, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have it flushed. I'd go ahead and give her a basic tune-up as well. New plugs, wires, oil change, bleed the clutch/master cylinder. I'd also go over the engine and make sure all your sensors are plugged in completely, make sure nothings loose. You could also look over the motor mounts and make sure nothings loose there as well.
