Replying to: mamiya (Apr 06, 2008 6:16 pm) "...I also get a little delay between gear shifts..."   The Eclipse has an "adaptive" auto transmission. The way I understand it is that if you drive very conservatively the transmission will upshift sooner than if you drive "hard". The computer "learns" your driving style.   If the engine revs between shifts or bangs into the next gear it sounds like a low fluid level (again) in your transmission.   Sounds like you got a "Monday" car. Talk to your dealer. Replies to this message: mamiya (Apr 09, 2008 5:57 pm)

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Apr 09, 2008 3:03 pm) Te delay is upon hard acceleration, normal driving it's OK...did'nt know about the adaptive tranny!

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Apr 09, 2008 2:55 pm) Level is OK, exhaust is throaty but this is from the engine compartment area and you can hear the engine pretty good inside the car...maybe nature of the beast but it seems like no sound dampening was used anywhere in this car..I have a subaru,can't really hear the motor...toyota solara..no engine noise inside..had a probe 94 GT, really same body style as eclipse..has some road interior noise( like the eclipse) but could'nt hear the motor! Just makes the car sound like a tin can, really bugs me..the v6 is quiet! Replies to this message: oldfarmer50 (Apr 12, 2008 11:15 am) phyltre (Oct 21, 2008 8:12 pm)

Replying to: mamiya (Apr 09, 2008 6:08 pm) "...makes the car sound like a tin can...the v6 is quiet..."   Boy, I'm stumped. I've driven both the 4and 6 cyl. Eclipse models and haven't heard the noise you described. I also have a Chrysler with a Mitsu engine and it is very smooth and not noisy.   Did you hear this noise when you took the test drive? Does your dealer say this is normal (yea, I know they say every noise is normal). How about an independent mechanic?
#365 of 400 Re: traction control problems? [skifast22] by robozx Apr 25, 2008 (2:24 pm)
Replying to: skifast22 (Nov 14, 2005 9:56 am) Yes i've had problems with the traction control light for many months now. I have taken it in many times and the techs anyways seem to just replace sensors. Recently i had gaskets replaced along with a sensor and today the light came on again with a Service Engine soon light. This is been a pain in the ass and i have to wait another week for parts to come in, AND i can't drive the car because they don't know the problem. When i bought this car i loved it, now i just want it to get fixed well enough so i can get rid of the worthless thing.
#366 of 400 Bad Mitsu by oldfarmer50 Apr 26, 2008 (10:42 am)
"...so I can get rid of the worthless thing..."   Does your state have a "Lemon" law? If you have the same problem over and over without resolution you might get the dealer to buy it back from you. Just a thought.
#367 of 400 Trunk Release by rolin Apr 27, 2008 (12:30 pm)
I have a 2007 Mitsu. Spyder Eclipse GT Convertible. Does anyone know if there is a trunk release anywhere in this vehicle? I can't find one and the book does not address this at all. Also, I am averaging 13 MPG city. Is this normal?   Thanks Replies to this message: albuqnow (Apr 27, 2008 6:23 pm) mamiya (Apr 29, 2008 7:20 pm) oldfarmer50 (May 02, 2008 6:31 pm)

Replying to: rolin (Apr 27, 2008 12:30 pm) I also have the '07 Spyder GS 2.4. The trunk release is a black rubberized button under the wing on the trunk. Also there is a trunk release button on the key fob. I get about ~ 25 mph mostly local. Replies to this message: mamiya (Apr 29, 2008 7:20 pm)

#370 of 400 How to clean interior by charlottesmom Apr 30, 2008 (5:42 pm)
I have a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. I just LOVE this car!! I need to know what I can use to remove the scuff marks off the interior vinyl surface...like the backs of the front seats and the lower parts of the door moldings.Also, is there anything I should be putting on the rag top to keep it clean and color fast??
