2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Clutch wore off at 33000 miles and not even one year. I've been driving manual for ten years and never had to replace clutch on my 97 nissan truck. I still have the old car without ever having to replace the clutch and now a new 2006 Eclipse burn out after less than a year. Dealer said that it isn't covered by warranty because its wearable but I think it should be part of the powertrain warranty for 100000 or ten years.”

“I have a 2006 Eclipse gt, its only 7 months old and has less than 10,000 miles on it. Im driving along and I shift gears and I heard it rev up before it caught and started to accelerate. None the less, I find out its the clutch going out already. And the dealership wont replace it because its a wear item... But what clutch goes out in less than 10,000 miles when the car isn't driven like a race car, but normal.”

“4 months ago I had the slave cylinder leak onto my clutch causing the clutch to go out, they replaced it basically told me I have a new clutch. So recently I've been getting on the freeway in 5th 6th gear and the car is revving but not going, so I went back to the same dealer told them what's up and without even diagnosing the problem said I need a new clutch, I then reminded them I just had it replaced 4 months ago they tried to say it was for something else when in fact I remember him clearly saying you got a brand new clutch. …”

“I am a current owner of a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse gt with a 6-speed manual transmission. I am the only owner of this vehicle. I have less than 22,000 miles on the vehicle as of today and recently I have been hearing a noise coming from my transmission while I am in 'neutral.' I recently returned to the dealership for a 'previous' recall situation that needed to be addressed. I questioned the 'noise' and I was told that it was the 'throw-out' bearing on the clutch. I asked if the part can be replaced and if it was covered under warranty. …”

“2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse spun 3 main bearings, has a worn clutch at 28,000 miles. I have never replaced the clutch in my '88 mazda, which currently has 190,000 miles on it or any of the previous manual transmission vehicles I have owned. Mitsubishi reps denied the warranty due to aftermarket part (cold air intake) the clutch being worn and from what they claim as spirited driving. I did not pay $30,000 for a car to take out and drive it like a maniac. This is a car that I take very good care of and change oil every 3,000 miles religiously, and have it serviced regularly. …”
