speaking of shifters, I recently had to restore one, and I know it's a manual shifter, but most of you guys don't give a Dandelion Yellow Colt for the auto swap guys anyway , I did this on my car and recently did this for a fellow member on here, so I did a video of my cheep method to help fix shifter play. https://youtu.be/RDa3tW3m3-c |

Good video, mine where completely gone. Luckily I have a buddy with a lathe and he turned me a new bushing from aluminum that worked great. |

That's exactly how I make the ebrake conversion parts on my rear disc conversions. Chuck up a 1/4-20 bolt in my drill with the head cut off, thread on a 1/4-20 x 7/8's coupling nut and run it against my wheel on the bench grinder. It rounds the corners and turns it into a barrel within minutes. Great minds think alike . I'm going to try the shifter fix too. I have a 97 Galant shifter that could use rebuilding so we'll see. |

Knowing that this thread gets lots of views and given I would say this anyways, be aware that JNzTuning.net, Rtmracing.com, Partsouq.com and Amayama.com can get you the shifter bushings all day long. There are other US companies that can get them from Mitsu also and likely stock them too. I bet you 99.9% of the shifters and the complete pivot mechanisms on the road from this era of Mitsu's are all in need of at least 75% of the rebuild parts for the entire base/interior assembly and the outside trans mount portions too. Trust me when I say I just drove a Colt turbo in need of a complete shifter system overhaul and it was MF'ing night and day difference in how the trans feels/shifts with no doubt saving syncros at the same time with proper shift speeds and no excessive weighted knobs. Also, be sure to consider a braided stainless line for heavier than stock clutch plate feel/pressures, as this also improves engagement point and overall system efficiency to save syncros and time shifts better. |

I used the complete stainless clutch line, from clutch master to slave cylinder, this was on my 3G mirage, the one I used was the STM unit designed for the 1g dsms, it fits the stock mirage perfectly. I agree that if you want to use oem, or it's more convenient for you, go for it, I just wanted to share an alternate method that I know 100% works and is reliable I have had no issues with one I did for myself and I rebuilt it about 2 years ago. as for brass bushings, I have heard guys have made this work on their cars, it's another great option if you have a lath, or a friend with one. |

Yes, don't worry. I totally agree that it works coming from all sides, to keep things tight. That's the goal anyways. If we only had the know how to operate a decent lathe. They sell them pretty cheap now.

yeah I wish I had the budget/ workspace for a lathe, but I suppose I'll throw it on my wish list, I know of a few moments where it would have been handy to have one on hand for members and myself |

Update: regarding using the "07-"10 elantra/spectra booster...okay so when I installed it in the red rocket I made some adjustments to the push rod... well my thoughts are they were wrong, and my reasoning for this is I stuck the same unit in my other 3g csm, but this time I did not touch the stock rod adjustment, and the brakes are less sensitive you can still adjust it a tad more, but I just wanted to update you all, because I mentioned the pedal was sensitive in an earlier post... of course that could also be attributed to the 3g eclipse prop valve? Oh well eventually I'll figure this out and report back my findings here. |

IF you don't know the split point for the 3G eclipse proportioning valve, then it makes it hard to compare it to the factory split points. Do we have that manual stock piled yet? |

I actually do have a PDF copy of the 2000-2002 eclipse fsm, I'll look it over real quick and see if theres any info pertaining to the split points. |
