Q: How to open the roof of the Mitsubishi eclipse spyder?
I have just rented a Mitsubishi eclipse spyder from avis, but don’t know how to open the roof because I’ve never driven a convertible before. I tried to press the ”open ” and ”close” button, at first the windows opened and closed, but afterward, it is only making beep sound. I don’t know why, and do any one know how to open/close the roof? Thanks a lot!

A: If it is a 2000-2009 Eclipse spyder then here is what you do. Above the sun visors there are clasps, one on each side. Unfasten the clasps by following the arrow diagrams, tilt the visors so they don’t interfere. Then press the “open” button and hold it down until the windows are down and the roof has been lowered. You must keep the button pressed the whole time the roof is lowering or raising or it will either stop midway or not work at all and beep. The beeping sound you are getting is probably due to the clasps not allowing the roof to lower. This should help you.

Q: What’s the difference between a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT and GTS?
About a month ago, I was going to purchase an ‘01 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT, but a week ago I managed to purchase an ‘05 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS. My question, what is the main difference between the GT and GTS models? Both of them were 5-speed manual transmission. Any horse power difference between GT and GTS of the same year model? Pros and Cons of each other?

Q: How much would insurance on a 2003 mitsubishi eclipse be for a 16yr old?
im looking into getting a mitsubishi eclipse for my very first car. I was wondering how much it would be for insurance. Also If you could give me other vehicles that are very low on insurance that would help greatly.

Q: Why is the transmission in my 95 Mitsubishi Eclipse automatic slipping?
I have a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 2.0 non-turbo automatic front wheel drive. It has plenty of transmission fluid in it and it looks fine. When trying to drive it on the road/flat ground it slips & revs out, then will grab hard, and then slip all over again. If I drive it up my driveway, or around my yard (both uphill) it drives fine. Reverse works fine either way. What could be wrong? Is the transmission completely junk or could there be something dumb wrong with it that can be fixed?

A: this has a 604 chrysler trans in it have shop look at it to get pressure readings it will tell them whats wrong might be either lo/rev solenoid circuit or the frictions itself only way for accurate diagnosis is that reading

Q: can I swap a transmission from a Mitsubishi Montero sport to a Eclipse?

A: No it will not work. The Montero is rear or 4 wheel drive where as your car is FWD.

Q: Does anyone know were I can find replacement carpet for my 2000 mitsubishi eclipse?
I have searched and searched but have came up empty. I am looking for new carpet for a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I cant seem to find any carpet for models over the 1999 eclipse. Why is this? I really need carpet. My air condition leaked all over and started to mold. I cleaned everything up and fixed the leak(hopefully) I just need new carpet because it now has odor that is not so pleasant. Please let me know of anything you can find. Thanks.

A: Your dealership has to be able to get some new carpet. Also, any body repair shop should be able to hook you up as well. BTW, that Eclipse is a sexy car. I like it.

Q: How many miles are too many for 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT?
I will be buying my first car in a few months, and I’ve decided on a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. I’ve seen a few for less than $3,000 which is my price range. I was wondering how many miles are too many to purchase this car at? Any other info on this car would be great.
Thanks

Q: what kind of antifreeze is safe to put in a 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse gt?
i have a 2001 mitsubishi eclipse spyder gt. i had a small crack in my radiator at the top. i used some radiator sealer and sealed the hole. im thinking about adding a stop leak formula into the radiator but i dont want to mess up anything internally. (any opinions?). i was wondering if there was any specific antifreeze i need to put back into the car.
-thanks!

A: “thebax20″ has answered your question, all I would add is this; you have already put in one can of leak repair adding another is definitely going to plug up your cooling system real good. Plugged up cooling systems are not a lot of fun.

Q: Where can I find information on a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS O-Z Rally Edition?
I just bought a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS O-Z Rally Edition, and I can’t find info on it anywhere. I want to know the specs., including horsepower and upgrades, and not even the dealer knows.
I know about the Lancer, but Mitsubishi also made a limited number of Eclipse O-Z Rally Editions, I know becasue the dealership told me. I know I have to order parts for my car for the upgrades through Mitsubishi as well, and not through O-Z. This I a website of another guy who owns one, http://projecteclipse99.tripod.com/

A: you can check online with mitsubishi’s website and send them an email, or you could go to yahoo/google/msn and search it. you shouldn’t have any problem finding it. Also, www.conceptcarz.com and www.cardomain.com should have information about it.

Q: What car made by Dodge has the same interior as a Mitsubishi Eclipse?
I have a Mitsubishi Eclipse 95 and my interior is pretty bad. Recently I went to a junkyard to look for the interior of my car that includes (dashboard, the 2 front seats and the back seat). I did not find another Eclipse but instead I found a car that said Dodge in the back of it and had the same interior has my Eclipse. ***Note: It only had dodge in the back of it therefore I do not know what car is it. I would like to know which car is it.

A: What you saw was the Dodge Avenger. The dashboard is similar with the Eagle Talon and Mitsubishi Eclipse. They were all built in the same plant in Normal, Illinois. They were also built in the same platform. If you can get hold of the parts of the car you saw, you’re clear to buy’em if you want. I am sure that the cars have the same dashboard ‘coz I have a ‘95 Eclipse and my friend from work has the ‘95 Avenger.

A: Is it seperate from the regular horn? If not just use the regular horn wiring. Or is it an extra horn.

Q: How do you install an intercooler in a 1998 mitsubishi eclipse GSX?
I have a 1998 Mitsubishi eliclipse GSX, and i purchased a ECLIPSE GSX GST DSM 4G63 TURBO INTERCOOLER+PIPING on ebay. I’m not sure how to fit and hold the intercooler on my car, and the pipping doesn’t seem to fit (the shape of the tubbing) from the intercooler to the engine./turbo. I would really appreciate any help, or any directions to where i can get a diagram or instructions. Thank you!

A: Without seeing the kit it’s difficult to tell. The intercooler should have flanges on the ends. Sometimes there are predrilled holes and sometimes not. You’ll have to fit the pipes to the engine first. Are there instructions with the kit? If not you’ll have to determine which pipe goes where. It should fit, unless you got a really cheaply made kit that just kind of fits. If it won’t fit you’ll have to try and modify it. Good luck. But make absolutly sure it doesn’t fit, in any order, two or three times over before trying to beat it into submission.
When you get the pipes to fit on both ends, fit up the intercooler and see where it would best be mounted. If it has pre drilled holes, mark them on the frame of the car or a radiator bracket, where ever they fall. If there are no pre drilled holes then you get to pick and choose where you want to drill them. So mark the intercooler, take it back off, drill the holes, put it back on, mark the holes on the frame or rad brackets, take the intercooler off and drill those holes.

NOTE: Some intercoolers are flow directional meaning that the air flows better through the intercooler one way. If this is the case the inlet and outlet should be marked some way, either by arrows or words. Before you drill any holes make sure the intercooler is oriented correctly.

Now take everything back off.
Start by working from the turbo forward, install one pipe at a time, making sure the connections are somewhat tight, then do the intercooler and finally to the intake. Now afer averything seems to be fit right, tighten down all of the clamps and fittings that join the pipes together. Hook up any sensors of valves you need to and you should be good to go.

Like I said without seeing your exact circumstance it’s hard to give detailed advice. This is just a general guide.
