hey where do you get the tensioner pulley tool at? I've been looking but can't find any for the 3.8l

“But fortunately our bucket catched it all” that shit killed me.
Lmao 😂😂😂😂
Watching this because my car is at my mechanic's place being worked on (both valve cover gaskets being replaced, transmission flush, new ngk iridium spark plugs, going to full synthetic oil, new oil filter, air filter, and of course, new timing belt, and water pump kit).
This gives me such an appreciation for ALL YOU MECHANICS out there. Shout out to all you Mechanics. We wouldn't be anything, anyone, or anywhere without you.
My car: my 5th Mitsubish Eclipse ('99 GSX, 2001 GT, 2001 GT (Lemon), 2008 GT (RIP), and now my 2007 GT(Daisy is her name).
I expect she'll run better than ever =-)
Question about the transmission flush, I was told by a mechanic that flushing the transmission fluid wasn't a good idea if there's nothing wrong with it, just wondering if this is true, btw I have an 06 4G if it matters thanks.
@m.e.8653 I heard that too, so I just ended up replacing the fluid, and my car runs great.
I don't even have this car and I watched the whole thing. Quality content, badass cars, keep up the good work my friend you're killing it
BioExtract You made my day I really appreciate that, thank you!
Did this today with the help of coworker to help guide.... I genuinely appreciate this video thank you
HenryMcComments ! I’m glad it helped even if a little bit! No problem, thank you!
Johnny-GT
I watched the video and few others before taking it on.... I’m a general service guy
so the assistant and video definitely helped
Gotta be honest I was coached a great deal and needed guidance but I did and save my 06 GT
I’m glad you got it back out on the road man! 👍🏼
I was really nervous to start my 2.4 mivec 06 eclipse after I put it back together...But thanks to this video it fired right up and sounds good...took it for a drive and everything is working...the motor Is at 160k... stripped some rubber teeth on a start....my fingers were definitely crossed...thanks alot for the video
Your video is great! It is better than any training video I have watched for car or motorcycle, great detailed step procedures and advice about bolt replacing to keep track. After watching your video I know I could work through the same job on my 2007 eclipse GT 3.8. (In Time spot 4:12 bolt sequence) When I worked on my VTX 1800 I had bolts that needed to be in order, I numbered them and position as I removed them so I had their position. That way I did not have to mess with them. Thanks for your GREAT VIDEO and knowledge! EBW USN Ret.
Thank you so much for the help! I'm 200 miles away from 120,000 so I need to get on this. I'm also mad new to car repair, but you've helped me feel super confident going for it on my own. Thank you!!!!
Definitely! This is one of the most important parts of maintenance you don’t want to miss, no problem, thank you for watching!
@@JohnnyGT Thanks again, man!!!
ik this was 4yrs ago for you now but my 06 is just a little over 120 that i just bought off of someone and just a couple days ago we believe the belt broke so DONT wait to do it whoever is reading this lol
Thank you for this high quality video. I doubt I could do this work without your help. Keep it up!
Thank you for the support! Will do!
Mine got 260k miles and I have no idea the last timing belt job. About to concur this myself in the garage. Thanks for the tutorial man. I’m replacing the slave cylinder because the clutch won’t hold pressure even after replacing the master. Stupid previous owner didn’t replace it after having clutch done. I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m 18 with no money lol. Gotta do what I gotta do to get my car running
Love to hear when high mileage cars are still going strong 💪🏼 but definitely change that belt ASAP lol that’s how you learn man, when you have to do it yourself, but I promise you it’s better this way, mechanics suck
Swear catching antifreeze is like gripping water lol
'But fortunately our bucket caught it all. Oh shi-'
I died 😂
Thinking about picking up a 4g GT eclipse to replace my 3000gt SL as a daily feel like it would complement my 350z nicely lol they also seem to be extremely underrated. This is a great informational tutorial, keep going!👍
xIW3ST SID3Ix they are definitely underrated, you’ll see just how much once you start driving your 4g GT, that’s a nice line up of cars! Thank you I definitely will!
@@JohnnyGT update: I dont think I've ever had such a hard time finding a car 🤣. Finding a manual hard top GT has been damn near impossible, I found one with like 55k on it 8 hours away absolutely mint. I told the dealer I'd pay for the shipping to my place and they're just giving me the run around. I went to look at 2 locally one I was informed had a bad gas tank before I even left to see it and the other was beat to hell, rust, blown shocks, bad engine mounts, stuttering on power lol. Buying my Z was a 3 day process from looking at them to owning one. I won't give up damnit 😭😂
Thank you so much!! I also need to do this, so I deeply appreciate the tutorial
Todd J. Lajoie no problem, thank you!
Fantastic video. Could you please tell me what air intake you are using and where to buy it? Many thanks.
Thank you for the video. It's almost perfect!
Just needs an intro and what the torque specs are.
Just had mine done $675.. rock on!
From this video, I see why lol
@@luelee4174 mine was a 3rd gen eclipse though
Jonny on the spot with this one, thanks for the writeup man!
No problem man I’m glad you liked it 🙌🏼
I did this job in Australia 4 years ago, my biggest job ever, was I nervous on 1st start up😅.
Me too, everytime 😂😂
Please!!!! I want to warn others. When pulling the grenade pin on the tensioner. The distance he is talking about, the 4.8 to 6 mm is the distance from the aluminium tensioner housing to the pivoting pulley platform . Not the distance that it expands. The total distance the little plunger on the pulley is out of the tensioner until it comes in contact with the thing that moves.
Thanks, going to do my 2007 Spyder this weekend, before it comes out of storage.
Cheers
Robert sterling glad I could help!
@@JohnnyGT All went well, thanks again for the video lesson!
Now for the nice weather.
Robert sterling awesome!
I actually needed this. I need to replace the timing belt on my 2006. Thank you
KraZe_Breck no problem, replace it before it’s too late!
The FSM shows that you set the tension on the timing belt tension pulley by pulling down not up.
Good video bro just what I needed. I remember seeing you drive around in el paso. Didn't know you had some good content also 👌
Thanks man, I’m glad it was helpful
Excellent video! Thank you for a great tutorial
I try to make them as detailed as possible! Thank you for the support!
This is a great video. Thank you for making it. How long did it take?
Thank you! 🙏🏼 this can probably be knocked out in a weekend as long as you have all the parts
Hey man, are you putting the oil pickup tube in danger by jacking the engine up by the pan, if so is there another way around it?
No, this oil pan is very strong
Nice video can you gaive us a list of all the parts need it to perform the change for the time belt and water pump
Great information. Thanks !
Glad it was helpful!
Great video I just bought one and it will be great walk through if i to do work in the future
Thank you! Good luck on your build
I have a crank no start issue and I think this can be the problem.
Gonna have to get on this soon, thx💯
No problem! Did you get it changed already?
Hey man, quick question? if my crankshaft jumped a few teeth when I was tightening the tensioner down, can I just pull it back to time?? Or should I go four teeth backwards from time, and then pull it back to time again? Thanks.
You can rotate it back in place in whatever direction is shortest, clockwise or counter clockwise
good job, hey but where did you get the oem gaskets any link ?
I've had this happen, where I just could NOT get the marks to line up. The crank would always turn counter clockwise a half a tooth, seemed like too much tension on that side (idler pulley side). I ended up giving up and taking it to a stealership. In the video you said if you can't get the marks to line up to give it another two full rotations and try again. Is there only one correct "cycle" in rotation that they line up initially. Im about to try this again in couple weeks, any advice would be appreciated! Sweet car BTW #Club4g4life
So if you’re just changing both belts, is it ok to reuse the tensioner? The water pump is perfectly fine
Hi around how many miles should I replace the timing belt I have a Mitsubishi eclipse gt 2007 93,000 miles
Should be done every 60,000 miles or every 6 years for the 2006-2008 model, every 100,000 miles or 6 years for the 2009-2012 model, don’t quote me on that, check your owners manual.
If you don’t know when it was done, it means change it now, or buy a new engine later
The owners manual shows the tensioner pulley with the eyes in a different spot. Does that matter? I know you installed them on the top, but the one on the manual has the eyes on the side.
Hey man quick question, I have a mechanic that replaced the water pump, timing belt, and tensioner. When putting everything back, he lined up all the marks on the crank and the camshafts but he says the motor is still out of timing and runs like crap. Any idea??
hey man i was watching your video and saw you had leather seats for the eclipse 4th Gen would you be willing to sell the two front seats please let me know thanks
For the right price I would sell them, since I have to replace them with something lol it’s gonna get expensive
My timing belt was done at 79k and the car is at 94k. I have some clicking sound coming front the engine. I was told to get my valves adjusted back into spec. What do u think it could be? Also, 09 6 speed gt.
Valve lash adjustment does have to be done on this engine every 30k miles, when they’re out of spec, they do make a louder sound. These engines have a clicking sound that’s normal, of course you would have to determine if this is a different one or not
I have a mobile mechanic but he wants to use gates even after I recommended oem. I may have to do it myself
The gates belt is good, everything else I would go OEM, it’ll last longer
@@JohnnyGT thanks much appreciated
Hey I’m buying a 2009 eclipse, but it has 92k miles. Do you think it would need a new timing belt because I heard they last until 105k miles?
Yes because it goes by either mileage or years, and it’s way over due for a new one.
How often does it have to be done? Seen a few GS that have it done while ive Been looking a new daily.
If the tensioner eyes point in the other direction it still works correct no damage will occur.
Sweet ride. Ever think about swapping in a 4G63 from an evo?
Yes I have! But I would purchase another 4g for that, because I do like my 6g75 drivetrain a lot
Cool. That would be sweet. MiguelDSM swapped one to his non turbo 2G and also swapped the AWD too.
refineme Thats awesome, there’s several other cars I want to buy first before I get into crazy fabrication
How hard was it to remove the Crankshaft bolt and which way it it go to remove it
Lmao i love how this pops up in my feed after thinking about doing mine in my 07 gs
i just bought a 2006 gt and the guy just replaced everything you replaced in the video about 2000 miles ago but he forgot t put the cover back on the timing belt i was wondering at what point of time in the video could i just put the cover back on
Everybody says they just replaced everything when selling a car, me personally, I never believe them
You can install the cover just before the part where you remove the timing belt, so pretty much all steps
@@JohnnyGT appreciate you so much bro didn’t expect you to respond ❤️
great video Johnny! Do I have to go under the car to change the crankshaft position sensor or can I change it from above? Thanks
Have to take off the tire and take it off below
Where did you get the lower timing cover. Mine is shattered into a million shards
Mine was broken too, I bought it from Mitsubishi parts warehouse. Com
TDC thorough bro 😎 👍🏾
Which Manual did you use? Haynes or Chilton?
Nice Video Thanks....🤙🏻
The Car Guy Morales thank you!
How's it going? You still have that 4G?
Did your engine jump time just by a little causing it not to start?
Have you ever changed the camshaft seals?
I have not had to yet thankfully
I was wondering cuz the timing belt kit came with cam shaft seals
Is this worth doing i got one belt broke and i i think valves bent still cranks but its need this done or a motor???
This is to be done as preventive maintenance, it’s probably too late for your engine, but there have been a few people that get lucky with no damage when the belt snaps
Thanks man
No problem! Lol
i finally got around to it and i’ve had to redo the tension AT LEAST 10 times. the tear stone manual says the grenade pin shouldn’t have any resistance after 2 revolutions but i noticed you didn’t do it this way and by doing it myself i left that little room where the pin isn’t as loose and i was closer to the protrusion spec. if only my new tensioner didn’t blow its seals 😐. this job is definitely humbling mostly aggravating. (you also rotated the tensioner pulley clockwise contrary to the manual, but why?)
Any chance of adding links to OEM parts. I am not finding premade OEM kits besides Gates. When I part it out, I am passed $500 for a OEM water pump, Belt, and Belt tensioner while Gates is $175 new.
hey thinking about buying one. is this a doable job for first time.
If you know you can do the steps in the video then yes
@@JohnnyGT its alot of steps it appears but if u just follow instructions can't really go wrong.
@@jordanscott6410 have you worked on cars before or is this gonna be your first time? If this is your first time, it might be a bit much
@@JohnnyGT a little not a ton but my dad's a mechanic.
@@jordanscott6410 if you can tackle this together you’ll be perfectly fine then
Johnny gt i just bought a 2006 eclipse gt it ran perfectly but i think the crank position sensor went out , it tries to crank but doesn’t wondering if you can help me trouble shoot this
I had the same thing happen. Driving down the road then bam rpm’s drop to a stall and power steering when out. When I scanned for codes it read crank sensor but someone I talked to thinks the belt broke so I’m going to try to replace the sensor first just to see but there’s a good chance both our timing belts went out brotha lol
Yes I'm going to a prom my car and I'll try to see how I can work it because I don't have this kind of money so I was thinking of doing myself I just want watching the directional how
Where.do you buy oem timing belt kit
I buy it from MitsubishiPartsWarehouse.com
@@JohnnyGT It says the power steering belt is discontinued and you can no longer buy it. That has to be some kind of mistake right? Also why does the owners manual say if you live in CA, ME, VT you can wait until 100,000 to change the timing belt. Mine has 59,800 and I haven't changed it and the car is 17 years old. I'm not sure if the previous owner had it changed or not. That is what brought me to your channel.
Can you recommend me a cat back exhaust
Joshua Rhule I had to custom make mine because there are no aftermarket exhausts available for the dual exit
What tools did you use
Is this an interference engine? There is a really nice 2009 gt for sale for really cheap, with supposedly a broken or slipped timing belt. The engine is probably destroyed. Idk
Yes it’s an interference engine. More than likely, the engine is damaged, but sometimes people get extremely lucky and all it needs is a new belt
Were did you get tensioner tool?
I bought it on amazon for like 30 bucks
How much do shops charge for this? Water pump, tensioner idler etc.
I'm getting a 2006 mitsubishi eclipse gt
Joshua Rhule nice! 😎
Can they do this at the dealership?
where do you get your eclipse parts from
Mitsubishipartswarehouse .com or mitsubishipartsonsale .com or rockauto .com
I need a makanic like you bro good job
Thanks man!
The Gates timing kit only lasts 20K ??? Really??? Good to know. Everyone at club4g says that gates is the brand to buy. So are you going to buy the OEM kit?
Dragon749 from my experience yes, and I’ve read the same thing from others. It’s not a very good quality kit, the timing belt is good though
Mine lasted 100k still going strong. Bout to get it redone cause I’m hitting 190k on mileage
How much do you charge to do a Timing belt?
mechanic said i need a kit with two tensioners ? all i see are kits with one?
The timing belt only has one tensioner
@@JohnnyGT thank you 🙏🏼
No problem 🙌🏼
What size inch is the impact driver at 19:37?
What's the torque spec on the water pump
Can you please send me the cam and crank correlation timing wave forme ?
I own a stock 06 GT with 105k, I am curious if you have a similar start up issue, the engine makes a small Top end knock (clacking) noise sometimes after cold starting (not always), run it for about 3-5 minutes restart the car and the knock is gone. The noise when it makes it only goes away after restarting the car after it's ran for a few minutes, if you don't restart it, it will make the noise until you park and restart, It's my daily driver It's done this since 55k any clue what it could be? Wasn't sure if you've experienced anything similar with the 3.8
I have the exact same issue no cluse as to what it is
old comment i know, but the exhaust rockers are self adjusting which means they’re hydraulic. they use engine oil to adjust the valve lash of where the exhaust rocker arm contact the valve, so when at low oil pressure it’ll make that clacking (more than a mitsubishi normally does) until it builds enough pressure. read it from the tear stone manual (tearstone.com/eclipsefsm/2006_PS24S_MMNA_SM_PDF/GR00004600-15.pdf#page19) correct me if i’m wrong plz
How can you tell if you need a new belt
For 2006-2008 models it should be changed every 60,000 miles or every 6 years, whichever comes first. If you don’t know when it was changed, change it.
When I tried taking the crank bolt off it was spinning the timing belt with it. Any advice ?
Put a socket on it with a long bar wedged onto the body then just crank engine for a second.
15:11 damn you gouged that pretty hard . Is that reason why water pump could be pre maturely leaking?
Stew C do you mean at 7:01 where I was removing the gasket with the wire wheel? those lines are the gasket being cut down, it doesn’t affect the surface of the engine block at all, the flat shiny areas are where it was done removing the gasket
@@JohnnyGT oh okay gotcha just wanted to point that out . Great vid tho planning to do my belt soon
Stew C Yea no problem im glad you asked, others might have the same question thinking I scratched the block lol the gaskets get so fused to the surface that this is the only way to remove them most of the time
👌👌👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah this just make me quit trying to do mine, I’ll just bring it to the shop
Damn... you had to cut a socket and made your own tool??? I’m glad I didn’t buy the dead 2007 Eclipse I saw...
Gold Wolf yup spent like 10 bucks just for that bolt, 3000GTs are way more expensive though lol
What happen if the timing belt it’s gone? Can the car be fix and back on time ? Anyone thanks
Did the timing belt break while the car was running?
What was the engines RPMs when it happened?
Between 1000 and 2000
@@valeferto8239 you might get lucky and no internals were damaged, but more than likely you need a new engine
Ok I’ll do my best and thanks for the info really appreciate!!!
Was watching to figure out what the timing marks consit of on this motor 😑
Would’ve gave rave review w/o music lol
It baffles me that I teach people how to fix their car for free and they still complain
Remove the timing belt and start over again 😂😂
Well, I am making this comment before I maybe blow my engine. Tomorrow everything will fire, wish me luck guys!
Где русские???
Hi johnny can you talk to me part number ?:) It's hard to see in the video.
Hello! Sorry I just saw this! What part number were you looking for?
OMG GET RID OF THE BACKGROUND ELEVATOR MUSIC WTF
Hey man if you don’t like it don’t watch it, figure it out yourself
Exactly @@JohnnyGT
How long does this take you in real time? I just bought a 06 Mitsubishi eclipse GT with 63000 miles and I'm thinking I better change the timing belt and water pump pretty soon.
I would say about 3 hours, it will depend a lot on your skills, tools, if you have all of the parts needed, and of course if you don’t run into any issues
@@JohnnyGT thank you for responding. Probably gonna take a good day. I might change the spark plugs and injectors while I have it tore apart. It has a little misfire at idle. Runs beautiful when you first started and as soon as it drops down below a thousand RPMs it starts to miss just occasionally.
@@bigsexylawson no problem man
