I have no manual....PLUS the Mitsubishi dealer wants me to "drive it in"
LOL they won't know till the look at it.. It looked like gear oil when it
came out while changing the clutch.

??? 1.8 automatic ???

a good chance to swap engine and tranny to 2.0 turbo..
;-)

if manual, I guess it's simply a leakage..
any transmission oil shoud be ok. but take care of gaskets..

What year?

The gear oil I hear the 3rd gen eclipse owners talk about is bg
synchroshift. But I've never used it to agree or disagree.

In which case you have an automatic.

If you can spare the $40, get four quarts of RedLine MTL from
www.summitracing.com and pick up a $5 siphon pump from Harbor Freight.
(check www.harborfreight.com for a store location near you) or borrow
one from somebody. <g>

It's cheaper than paying the stealership and the improvement to the
shifting is incredible. We did this with my wife's 1990 Eclipse GS
about eight years ago and it still shifts superbly, even with the
tapioca synchros the 1G cars were notorious for.
