6G72T's 5sp. project.....

just as a heads up the ecu has no effect on actual mechanical driving of the car, it is simply a fix for the ses light/codes

Hey what up!! Thanks dude. It'll be fun. Just having the hardest damn time finding the fucking parts.

It's not that hard.. Found a donor car in a junkyard nearby got everything in one shot.. Best way to do it..

Yeah, tell me about it. Its almost like STL doesnt have anything! Takes me forever to find anything. And it is almost impossible to find a 8G or 3G eclipse in a junk yard around the Wentzville area. Hope everything goes good for you.

yeah? try finding any mitsu in toronto lol

Yeah this shit is getting silly. but I found 2 guys on club3G that has it all. Buying this week. But last thing I will need is the axle and tranny itself. But the pressure plate, clutch, pilot bearing, and axle seals are in from mitsu. So i'll have to get that stuff in the next couple weeks. I know the guy in parts so he went ahead and ordered and I'll pay half this week and the other half next paycheck. But at least I wont have to wait on it all. Getting a new
aftermarket axle from advanced only $70 so.... but yeah just follow along. I have been using the Galant service manuals and chiltons crap to get it all done quickly and get the wiring done. Shouldn't be too bad. I have a tech from the local speed shop here going to help. He has done this swap 2x in the past on the eclipse. But my neighbor will be guy number three. Very knowledgable and is doing is research so we are all on the same page. But I'll have the other local tgc guys come out to hang out for the occasion.

Alright, first of the parts finally showed up from a guy in AZ from Club3G. and I put them on right away last night:

That line should bolt from another extension line which is longer which should run from the clutch master cylinder and the line in the pic should bolt up to that extension line and the slave obvisously bolts to the transmission near the shift fork base.

Hey steve, yeah just as advice, when i finally found my tranny (car-part.com) the yard it was at allowed me to go and rip all the parts off i needed and then pulled the tranny for me. It helped because then you know how everything goes on, not that its very complicated but youll know what goes where and how.

The slave cylinder sits on the front of the tranny (thanks Mitsu for the easy access 8)), with the banjo fitting at the bottom. The bracket is supposed to bolt to the tranny, and there is a second hard line that goes from the master to the hose.

I just used an SS hose for a 2G Eclipse/Evo from Slowboy racing, but it was a bit short so I had to use 1 other hard line. If you want an SS line though, ask Underrated where he got his since his line is actually better suited for Galants (SS line all the way from salve to master).

Damn, i cant wait till mine gets started.

if you need any specific pics, if i can or rather if is accessable, i will try to help you out as well just let me know what you need

figured i would add this as well since i just saw it...

Awesome thanks guys. I know I'll appreciate your help by the end. I'm going to do the best I can with pics and how to's so anyone can do this.

is there a pic or two of that line installed?

You can also just buy a brake line and bend it.. You are missing one line that goes from the master to that rubber hose... The other end of the rubber hose gets attatched to the tranny via a bracket.
