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

[6G72T]

Just getting a head start before I gather anything. I have no parts yet, but I have done enough research and diagnostic book reading to get things right the first time. lol So, as I get my money together and get things ordered and find them myself at junkyards, I will be doing a many-picture, full length detailed tutorial so a 5yr old can do it. Mine is a 2001 so the ecu/immobilizer will have to be re-flashed/replaced and I can get a price on that for you all too. So I'll keep you posted.

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, whats up Steve? cool to hear that your goin 5 speed. Keep up the awsome work!

Hey, whats up Steve? cool to hear that your goin 5 speed. Keep up the awsome work!

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

[Jeffylou87]

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

[2002BlackDragon]

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

[6G72T]

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.

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.

[bmaddock]

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.

[DryBear]

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).

[2002BlackDragon]

Damn, i cant wait till mine gets started.

[fatal1]

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

[fatal1]

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

[6G72T]

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.

Steve

[6G72T]

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

is there a pic or two of that line installed?

[Jeffylou87]

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.

[fatal1]

no problem, i will go in a little while and snap a few for you. it does go on the front of the tranny right near the clutch fork as 4g stated

[gtx]

I might still have that line in my garage, if so, you can have it for shipping. But it should be pretty cheap from the dealer, might be easier to just buy it new.

[bmaddock]

The clutch line really isn't too bad to install, but honestly i wouldnt really worry about it yet until you have the tranny installed, otherwise thats just one more little thing to maneuver around while bringing the tranny in cause its such a tight fit.

EDIT: Im gonna add your thread to mine just to create a database-ish of all the questions being addressed.

[6G72T]

thats cool.

GTX i may get it, let me see how much from the dealer and I'll let you know.

[6G72T]

Went to Mitsu on Friday morning to buy the axle seals and send the OEM clutch kit back, as the exedy is on its way thanks to warriorlax(thank dude).

But while I was up there, they said $65 to program the key. Haven't decided whether manual eclipse ECU swap or just immobilizer is easier. I'm going to have them price both for me so I'll keep you posted. Oh and the hard line off the Master is $25.?? with my discount.

Steve

[bmaddock]

Did you get prices quoted for ECU or immobilizer yet?

Oh and hows the swap going?

[6G72T]

No not yet, but I have purchaced flywheel bolts from boostz so I'm getting there. Tranny won't be bought until after the wedding(May 15th) so Im saving my pennies as best as possible minus bills/beer. But I'll keep you all posted. I'll have to go up to MItsu on wednesday and find out prices on both immobilizer issues. Keep in mind my quote may differ from yours. I know the service/parts guys here so they will hook it up. So you may want to add $30-80 to overall when i get that.

Steve

[6G72T]

Alright everyone. Major progress now with parts buying. I had to take a break because I went and got married. But I went to a junkyard and finally found a 3G 5sp. They said $125 if I pull it, or $175 if they do. Well, for the $50 for 2-3hrs of labor i think it was worth it. They threw in the flywheel too. It was supposed to be $20. lol But I now have it all but the hard line off master, shifter cables(they cut those when pulling the tranny for me), insert for tranny mount on side(they broke that too), and axle and I'm good to go. I will post pics of the tranny when I get a chance.

[6G72T]

Alright pics I promised many weeks ago. Dern...I'm too busy for this. I have 2 more months and my house will be done being built and then I can get the rest of my stuff. maybe it will be a winter project. I just need the axle, shifter cables, fluids, and hard line off the master; oh and some cash. haha The mounts are messed up but only the inserts so I am going to replace those with solid inserts. But here are pics from weeks ago getting the tranny torn down and cleaned up:

http://img197.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=0000894.jpg

and the broken mold where the lower bolt for the front mount goes. I guess from where the junkyard set it on the ground. I know of 3 people around here that can build it up and we can tap and thread it. No biggie. But the tranny seems good other than that.
