gambled on a Eclipse that now doesn't shift into 2nd and R
I'll try to keep this short, but no promises. I bought a 90' GST 5spd for $550, "only" needed an oil cooler installed. was empty of oil and had no battery to start it so i took his word on that and the tranny swap he claims he did. That was the gamble. I installed the oil cooler and filled it with oil and gave it a battery, nothing. Took it to a shop since i was simply too busy and lacked a garage. Now two months and $1500 later i have a car that doesn't shift into 2nd and Reverse according to the mechanic over the phone. It that time span, its had fresh tranny fluid Royal Purple 75w90, replacement used shifter and cables, new clutch, new axles, and i believe lastly replacement pedal assembly. They couldn't get the clutch to disengage, hence the pedal assembly replaced, and that is how i got to where i am now.
I'm gonna pick it up anyhow (tired of labor charges), and tackle the rest with the help of y'all fine DSM experts. they are good mechanics but i feel they don't have the unique underground knowledge that dedicated owners have.
