The Mitsubishi Eclipse, a sporty coupe that graced the roads from 1989 to 2012, captivated enthusiasts with its sleek design and performance capabilities. The 2003-2005 model years, encompassed by this service repair manual, marked a significant period for the Eclipse, as it underwent a major redesign. This generation saw the introduction of a new platform, the "PS platform," which was shared with the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus. The Eclipse's exterior took on a more aggressive and aerodynamic look, characterized by sharp lines, a prominent grille, and a low-slung stance. The interior received a fresh design as well, offering a sportier cockpit environment with supportive seats and a driver-focused dashboard. In addition to the standard coupe, a convertible version, the Eclipse Spyder, was also available, adding a touch of open-air excitement. Powering the 2003-2005 Eclipse was a range of four-cylinder and V6 engines, offering varying levels of performance and fuel efficiency. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine was standard, while a more potent 3.0-liter V6 engine provided ample power for enthusiasts. Transmission options included a five-speed manual gearbox and a four-speed automatic. With its blend of sharp styling, performance options, and practicality, the 2003-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse aimed to appeal to a wide range of drivers, from those seeking a stylish daily commuter to those desiring a weekend thrill ride. However, like many cars from this era, the Eclipse wasn't without its quirks and potential issues. This is where the service repair manual becomes invaluable. It provides detailed instructions and diagrams to assist owners and mechanics in maintaining and repairing the Eclipse, ensuring its longevity and optimal performance.
