2 questions:
1. I have 79,XXX miles on my v6 3.0 gt 2001 eclipse, when is my clutch due to go out. Also when has everyone elses clutches went out.
I always thought they were made to go out is this true?
2. Im thinking of cutting the carpet out just enough that I can cover the hole with carper mat, then drilling tiny holes in the floor board to release water. Good idea? I did this before on my mercury sable in the trunk after a accident caused the trunk not to close all the way.
This sucks.
It seems as though my front floor is wet. The side of the carpet isnt wet though. I really want to get rid of all the carpet now. Will this make it louder inside while driving ?
What you need to do first is put down the razors and calm down.
The clutch is not "due" to go out unless you drive your car fast and furious tyte. It could last to 100k if you take care of your car and drive it properly.
Now, to the water situation. Does it snow in your area? If so, the water could be from entering your car with snow on your shoes/boots and melting off from there. If that's not it, check your weather stripping around the windows. If there's any visual wear you might want to consider replacing it.

Ok thanks for the clutch info. Did your clutch go out at that time on your eclipse?
No their isnt any water marks visble. Thants the first thing I checked. The bottom is wet on the floor in all 4 areas on the floor. Also their is no moisture on the walls surrounding the wet areas.
It s actually pretty strange. It seems like the water is coming up fom the ground.
Im pretty lost on this one.

your floor board could possibley already be rusted so there are holes in it letting water up... you can have the carpet pulled up and replaced or just put back down so you can check

yup water on the floor is usually indicitive of having a bad heater core or you have a leak in the lines at the heater core. The problem with this part is that its a PITA to get to. You have to remove all of the dash to get to it. And since your saying its just on the floor and not comming in from windows or sun roof, then this is my bet
