Welcome to the revamped Eclipse section. We have decided to organize everything into generations to help keep the technical information grouped with related information. For those who are new to Eclipses and/or DSMs, and may be unsure of the generations, here is a list of the various years of the Eclipse, and the mechanically related vehicles throughout its existance. Also, as some people do not know, "Spyder" only means that the car is a convertible, and they are mechanically similar to the hardtops of the same trim line. 1st Generation 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and Plymouth Laser Trimlines and Engines: Eclipse: Eclipse (Base Model) 4G37 (1990-1994) Eclipse GS 4G37 (1990-1994) Eclipse GS16v DOHC 4G63 (1990-1994) Eclipse GS-T 4G63T (1990-1994) Eclipse GSX 4G63T (Late 1990-1994) Talon: Talon (Base Model)4G63 (1990-1992) Talon DL 4G37 (1993-1994) Talon ES 4G63 (1993-1994) Talon TSi 4G63T (1990-1994) Talon TSi AWD 4G63T (Late 1990-1994) Laser: Laser (Base Model)4G37 (1990-1994) Laser RS 4G63 (1990-1994) Laser RS Turbo 4G63T (1990-1994) Laser RS Turbo AWD 4G63T (1992-1994) 2nd Generation 1995-1999Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and dodge Avenger Trimlines and Engines: Eclipse: Eclipse (Base Model) 420A (1995-1999) Eclipse RS 420A (1995-1999) Eclipse GS 420A (1995-1999) Eclipse GSSpyder (DOHC) 420A (1995-1999) Eclipse GS-T 4G63T (1995-1999) Eclipse GS-T Spyder 4G63T (1995-1999) Eclipse GSX 4G63T(1995-1999) Talon: Talon (Base Model) 420A (1995-1997) Talon ESi 420A (1995-1997) Talon TSi 4G63T (1995-1998) Talon TSi AWD 4G63T (1995-1998) Avenger: Avenger (Base Model) 420A (1995-1999) Avenger ES 6G73 (1995-2000) 3rd Generation 2000-2005Mitsubishi Eclipse and Dodge Stratus Coupe Trimlines and Engines: Eclipse: Eclipse RS 4G64 (2000-2004) Eclipse GS 4G64 (2000-2005) Eclipse GS Spyder 4G64 (2000-2005) Eclipse GT 6G72 (2000-2005) Eclipse GT Spyder 6G72 (2000-2005) Eclipse GTS 6G72 (2003-2005) Eclipse GTS Spyder 6G72 (2003-2005) Stratus: Stratus SE Coupe 4G64 (2001-2002) Stratus R/T Coupe 6G72 (2001-2005) There were addition Stratus Coupe and Sedan trimlines, but they did not have Mitsubish drivetrains. 4th Generation 2006-2007Mitsubishi Eclipse Trimlines and Engines: Eclipse: Eclipse GS 4G69 Eclipse GS Spyder 4G69 Eclipse GT 6G75 Eclipse GT Spyder 6G75

My eclipse is a 2008 would I be a part of the 4th generation. I have had nothing but problems with my convertible top since I bought the car. I have had the car back to the mitsubishi dealership several times and they cannot seem to fix it. What it does is stall when putting the top down. The system is supposed to reset itself within 7 minutes but mine does not do that. Sometimes I am stuck for a full day with the top half way down. Needless to say it cannot be driven like that which has left me stranded in very unsafe areas. I no longer feel comfortable putting my top down unless I am at home.

thanks
