    2003 GTS. Had the timing belt replaced at 130,000 miles (I've owned the car since 75,000). Since the service was complete she sounds rough at idle, definitely not as smooth as before. However I don't notice any issues or unusual sounds while driving. Is it most likely that the shop got the...

    First time poster here. I searched the forum first, but couldn't find an answer for this. My 2000 eclipse (2.4L, manual trans), bought new and maintained well, has 110k miles on it now.

    I'm going to try to make this as short as possible, but some things require quite a bit description for clarity purposes, so here goes nothing. I have a 2001 Eclipse GT with 65k miles that I just bought recently. The other owner never did the timing belt component change, so that's what I...

    It's a manual transmission, I just changed the valve cover gaskets but it's leaking worse than before. Somebody told me it could be the camshaft seal that is causing this leak because from underneath the leak comes from the timing belt part, is that possible? It's only leaking from the front...

    I have a 2001 Eclipse RS straight drive. I was going about 45mph down the road and the timing belt broke on me. No real loud sounds or noises after it broke, but I'm trying to find the easiest way to tell if my valves got bent since it is an interference engine. I don't have the tools to do a...
