Ok I have an '06 Eclipse GT Six Speed with 22k miles. I bought it used from a Ford dealer about two weeks ago. I couldn't be happier with the car (I had a 2000 Eclipse GT in the past) so I like the cars a lot. I was on the interstate going about 75 and a 3000gt wants to play so I go to downshift to fourth and apparently I didn't shift right because it didn't go into gear, so I forget about going fast and just try to put it in gear and it won't go. The clutch pedal felt retarded and it was really hard to put into any gear. So I got off at the nearest exit and the clutch was releasing really weird and it was still really hard to put in gear. No matter how I started out it would shake like it was going to die. So I call the Mitsubishi dealer and the lady tells me that because my clutch pedal is still coming to the top like normal, and that when I give it throttle when driving it revs high but doesn't respond like normal, that I'm probably going to need a whole new clutch. So I call for tow but they said it's gonna be like four hours and the dealership is only a couple miles away so I had my dad follow me there to drop it off. Well towards the end when I would be at a stop light with the clutch fully in and it in gear it would still die. So I dropped it off and they're going to call me tomorrow morning. Should I let them put in a new clutch or should I buy a cluth from an autoparts store and let my dad put it in (he's done clutches in the past and said this eclipse shouldn't be that hard). What are my options here and how much would each cost? Thanx in advance!
