Frequently Asked Questions
Does the timing belt interval differ between the 4G64 and 6G72 engines?
Yes. Both engines use an interference timing belt design, making timely replacement critical. The 4G64 I4 and 6G72 V6 share a recommended replacement interval of approximately 60,000 miles, but the 6G72 procedure is more labor-intensive due to the V6 layout. The manual provides step-by-step belt routing diagrams, tensioner torque values, and camshaft alignment marks for both engines.
Which body styles and chassis codes are covered?
This manual covers both third-generation Eclipse body styles sold in the US: the D53A coupe (GS and GT trims) and the D52A Spyder convertible. All procedures applicable to the folding soft-top system and structural differences of the Spyder are included alongside the standard coupe content.
Are the automatic transmission solenoid and valve body procedures included?
Yes. The F4A42 four-speed automatic transmission section covers fluid and filter service, solenoid replacement, valve body removal, and full overhaul procedures. Shift-quality complaints — a known issue on higher-mileage third-gen Eclipses — are addressed in the transmission diagnostics chapter with fault codes and pressure-test specifications.
