Eclipse 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 51,224 miles
I do have a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse and at 27,000 I had a clutch replaced and a price tag of $1,250 for the dealership the I purchased the car from I thought I would get a long time out of that repair that cost so much. I was only up set that the same problem arose again so called from the dealership. I called independent shop the diagnostic the complete problem the dealership stated was not wrong, I was told by an independent garage that the leaking was caused by the sled and that I needed the lines need to be replaced and possible a new clutch again. Because of the leakage problem. I find that the dealership failed and the manufacture failed to make the public aware of these problems. I seems the dealership wanted $1,6759.95 for the repair of a clutch not addressing the leak problems.
