The 4G37 and 4G63 engines are gasoline inline-fours. Late 1992–1994 have larger-diameter axles and attach to the hub with bigger, 4-bolt axle cups. 1990-early 1992 cars have three bolts attaching the axle to the wheel hub. There is also a difference between rear axle/rear ends on all-wheel-drive models. AWD models have a different transmission which includes a limited-slip center differential and output shaft for a transfer case, which drives the rear differential (also available as limited-slip) and half-shafts.
#Eclipse neon review manual
The basic driveline layout of the Eclipse is a transverse-mounted 4-cylinder Mitsubishi 4G37 or 4G63 engine situated on the left-hand side of the car driving an automatic or manual transmission on the right-hand side. These models varied significantly in drivetrains and available options, and included some variance in appearance, as higher trim lines added different front and rear fascia panels and surrounding trim, with the GSX model getting a notably different styling package from the others.

The automatic models were rated at 180 hp (130 kW) due to smaller fuel-injectors and turbocharger. However, 1991 and later years of both turbo models standardized on the 195 hp version 4G63T. This was for the purpose of offsetting the additional weight of the AWD mechanism (approximately 2,930 lbs Vs 2,570 lbs GVW). * The 1990 GS Turbo with a manual transmission was rated at 190 hp, whereas the 1990 GSX with a manual transmission was rated at 195 hp (145 kW).

The Eclipse was officially sold in Japan, North America, the Middle East, South Korea, the Philippines, Brazil, and China. Īccording to Mitsubishi Motors, the Eclipse was named after an unbeaten 18th-century English racehorse that had won 26 races. During May 2005, the fourth, and final,(2006/2012) generation (4G) Eclipse was introduced, replacing the Chrysler platform used in the first three generations with the PS platform. (2000/2005) The third-generation (3G) shared a redesigned platform with the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus. In Japan, the first two generations were sold at a specific Japanese retail chain called Mitsubishi Car Plaza. Their partnership was known as Diamond-Star Motors (DSM). They were built during Mitsubishi Motors' close relationship with Chrysler Corporation. The first two generations (1G and 2G) share the automobile platform and parts with the rebadged Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser captive imports. A convertible body style was added during the 1996 model year. The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sport compact car that was produced by Mitsubishi in four generations between 19.
