1st gen problems (I know, I was shocked too)
1992 Eclipse GS, 2L. I can accelerate, kind of. When I give it just a little gas, it does eventually speed up, but if I give it too much, all I get is RPM. I read the previous thread and got the idea that perhaps my clutch was slipping, but there are other issues.
Like many 1G, my syncros are totally ****ed. I have to double clutch to get out of reverse, and I lost my 5th gear totally. I was wondering if anyone might think this could be an issue with gear oil. I'm a college student, so taking it anywhere and getting any work done to it that isn't absolutely neccesary is completely out of the question, and since I don't trust anyone around here, I'd have to drive home to get any good prognosis.
So...help?

Yeah, I kinda figured, but I was really banking on someone pulling some random prognosis that I would never have thought of out of thin air.
And if anyone has one of those, please share.

Well for one, your clutch is slipping, and its only going to get worse. It will get to the point where you cant go above certain speeds.
Your tranny is also done.
At this point, replacing both would be more than what the car is worth. Its up to you.

Well with tranny's there are very few things that attribute to problems
- Clutch
- Internal transmission components (syncros)
- Flywheel
- Linkages
- Gear Oil
To me it seems like you have the internal issue and the clutch definetly
