THE DESIGN OF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE TRANSMISSION SYNCHROS AND THE CLUTCH MECHANISM HAS BEEN FAULTY WHICH CAUSES THE FOLLOWING PARTS TO FAIL A LOT EARLIER THAN ANY NORMAL VEHICLE. - THE CLUTCH PLATE GETS WORN BEFORE TIME - THE THROW OUT BEARING (TOB) HAS A RATTLE - THE CLUTCH HAS A RATTLE - THERE IS VERY HARD GEAR SHIFT INTO THE 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THE 2ND GEAR IS VERY HARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS COLD START.(THAT IS NOT PARTICULARLY COLD AT THE END OF THE MONTH OF MARCH IN HOUSTON, TEXAS) - IT IS ALSO DUE TO THE "POOR" SYNCHRONIZERS IN THE TRANSMISSION BOX - THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY A LOT OF MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GT V6 USERS FOR THE 3RD GENERATION I.E. 2000+ MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CARS WITH A MANUAL SHIFT - THIS IS DUE TO SUBSTANDARD TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH QUALITY FROM MITSUBISHI

THE RIMS ON MY 2000 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE HAVE BECOME DENTED UNDER WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED LESS THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE TAKEN EXCEPTIONAL CARE TO PROTECT THIS CAR FROM DAMAGE. AS AN EXAMPLE, AFTER THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, THERE IS STILL NOT A SINGLE DOOR DENT OR CHIP, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I EXERCISE THE EXTRA EFFORT TO PARK FAR AWAY FROM OTHER VEHICLES AND WALK THE EXTRA DISTANCE TO MY DESTINATION. THEREFORE IT'S REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT I WOULD ALSO STEER CLEAR OF POTHOLES, ETC., AND I HAVE THE PAPER WORK TO PROVE THAT I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR ACCORDING TO STANDARDS SET BY MITSUBISHI. YET DESPITE THIS LEVEL OF CARE, THE RIMS HAVE BECOME DAMAGED. IRONICALLY, AS THIS IS MY FIRST NEW CAR, I TAKE BETTER CARE OF IT THAN ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED, AND YET IT IS THE FIRST CAR I HAVE...

I STARTED NOTICING A RATTLE FROM THE CLUTCH/TRANSAXLE. IT OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. THE RATTLE STOPS WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PUSHED IN. *AK
