Buy a new one.

They are different designs, but I don't know if that means one will not work on the other. I would assume you need a 6 bolt pan. Vfaq it!

Huh?

I don't quite understand the "Q". Are you buying a new CAS or a used one? A CAS doesn't exactly have a ton of parts to it. Usually you can just plug it in and go. It depends on who you are buying it from.
I guess you are installing a 6 bolt into a 2G. Did your 7 bolt die or something?

Anyone that knows how to tell the difference from the 6 bolt and 7 bolt oil pan just by looking at it, is going to know exactly what you have done just by looking at any upgrade you put on your car.

You have to get the tensioner that matched the motor, so you will need a 6 bolt tensioner. I am also almost positive that you need a 6 bolt oil pan, but I guess what you can do is try your's first. FInally, here is all the info you should need about the CAS: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/1g2gheadswaptechtip.htm (just scroll down to where it says 95-96 Eclipse)
I personally installed a 93 or 94 CAS. All I needed was the CAS and I bought the plug and play harness from Road Race seen here (about a 1/4 way down): http://www.roadraceengineering.com/newproducts.htm
Hope this helps.

Sorry, I forgot to also mention that I have DSMLink. With that, there is an option to invert the CAS. Using this, no plug wire swapping or splicing in to the ECU is necessary. Definitely makes things a lot easier!

I read through the entire owners manual for DSMLink about a week ago for the 5th time. I thought it just computed for a different signal. Looks like I need to go back to school and read a book or two.

I've been monkeying around with the passenger side axle. This has me stumped.
2g GSX. The housing, same as that I removed on the drivers side, now has 4 bolts directly into the transmission. I have 3 of them broke loose. The bolt that's giving me trouble to get to is the bottom left if you're looking into the wheel housing. I bought some universal joints for my rachet set, and those won't allow me to get in there. There's subframing members that are DIRECTLY in the way to feed anything in there. Please someone give me some insight here. I'm a lost pup.

I'm not quite picturing what your trying to say. Can you take pics and upload them?
