friend has a wrecked(just front end damage/airbags) elcipse that she loves...so she bought another to move the motor to.

since shes unable to do the work, i''m gonna do it.

its a 1 for 1 swap.

98 5spd motor into a 95 auto.

i know i''m gonna have to move the tranny''s over and transfer all the associated hardware and stuff.

never worked on a mitsubishi yet, so is there anything i''ll need to worry about?

it should be just like any other 4 cyl setup. Nothing really special to worry about

I agree should be pretty straight foreward.
