Im nwe to this but has anybody installed a short throw shifter in a 96 eclipse RS? Maybe can give me some advice or instructions on it. Would appreciate the help.

 

its pretty simple. Just take off the console. And then youll see everything there. Just look atthe parts you have and what is there. Its just a direct swap of parts except the short throw is a little different shaped. I think its only a couple bolts

 

Ok. Thanks I will do that.Another question. I got a lot of mileage on my car (it was used)so I want to do and engine rebuild. Should I also change all the gaskets or should I just get a new engine?

 

how many miles. General maintanace is really all thats ussually neccessary like changing fluids, oil change, tune up, ect. Unless there is a problem with the engine, mileage isnt reallya problem. The onle thing that goes on those engines alot is the head gasket. but there isnt a reason to do that until its a problem.

 

Its got 190.000. Mostly highway milage for this guy I bought it from. It isnt over heating or anything but I think I smell antifreeze from the exhaust but not by the engine. Plus is has a clicking noise a little.

 

The clicking noise is probably lifter tick. How well did the last person take care of it.

P.S if you get a new engine try to get a 6-bolt

 

There no point for the 6 bolt .. His RS isn't the turbo 4g63. Unless ur down for spending lots mollah..

 

If you can do the work yourself, a rebuild will cost very little.

 

Well I was looking at machv.com and they have the rebuild kit for $549 but I will have to get the cams and pulleys seperate? What kind of cams should I get? Stage 2 or 3? I'm not sure what the difference is but they are $500 and the Pulleys are $200. Is that a good price for everything? If you have any recommendations let me know.

 

stage 2 should be just fine, unless you want to turbo it or something, all stage 3 will do is give you a rougher idleand maybe a couple extra hp, nothin that noticable tho
