The speed sensor might be bad. I used to own a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse with the same symptons. The car will start, but will not pass the 1st or 2nd gear, the speedometer will be at 0. I replaced the speed sensor and all the problems went away.
I am told there were multiple engines in the 95 Eclipses. I have the Chrysler 2.0 with 5-speed manual transmission. I replaced my speed sensor in about ten minutes. It is located on top of the transmission held in by one bolt and connected with a small electrical connector that simply unclips.
if it has an electrical speed sensor type system, chances are the wiring from the sensor to the computer are NFG. get the system checked you might have a rotted out wire
Hello, there isn't a speedometer cable on these cars. If this is a non turbo model the speed sensor is on the back of the transmission. The easiest way to get to it is to remove the battery, battery tray, and intake tubing from air filter to intake manifold. Once all that is out of the way if you take a light and look on top of the differential ( on these cars it is the back of the transmission towards the firewall). You will be able to see it better with a flash light. If I recall right it is a tall electronic sensor that is held in with a 10mm bolt. Remove the bolt and carefully pull staight up. When it comes out of the transmission there will be a shaft and a small plastic gear on the bottom of the sensor. That is how it reads your speed. To install a new one reverse the process. Make sure to work the new sensor in carefully, don't force, to give the teeth on the gear to align.
