Hey guys, need some help here.... I just got a 1997 eclipse in great condition I thought. Two weeks after I got it, I had to take it to the shop cause it was stock in like 2nd gear after about 30min in the highway. It did run fine in the city but just not in the highway. Anyways, the guy told me it's was in "Limp mode" and the speed sensor needed to be replaced among with some "leaks". Unfortunally, that was $700. It's been 3 weeks and the problem came back two nights ago, took it to the same place and they just called me saying I need a Tcu Trans module. That I can only get that from the Mitsubishi dealership and it will run$400.. plus all their little extras is gonna be another $700. Don't have that type of $$$ to be handing out... and don't know to much about cars, so just need some advice for what or if this makes since to you experts!!

 

Listen man, Im going thru the same thing on my 91 eclipse. Check and see if it changes when you turn the overdrive off by the button. If it slips or kicks out of gear, it is probably a shift solenoid. The only way you can tell is to have them tested at a DEALER. Don't take it to some schmuck working out of his garage. You have to really know what you're doing to do this kind of stuff.
