Howdy, y'all,
Coupla weeks ago, I noticed that a couple of TSBs were missing from the alldatadiy.com online database. I'm particularly interested in the following (copied from the AutoMD website, forwarded from the NHTSA):
"1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse Engine And Engine Cooling Service Bulletin 63046
NHTSA: Action Number: 610451 Service Bulletin Number: 63046 Report Date: Feb 01, 2000 Component: Engine And Engine Cooling
Summary: Information and related installation procedures about a new, improved head gasket for vehilces equipped with the 2. 0l, non-turbo, 420a engine. *tt"
I replaced the head gasket coupla years ago, but don't have the text of this TSB in my supplemental maintenance manual.
Secondly, I've noticed that occasionally the cruise control doesn't respond when I set a speed. I can work around the problem by rocking the switch to off and then on. Mr. Bishi issued this TSB: "1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse Vehicle Speed Control Service Bulletin 52810
NHTSA: Action Number: 606606 Service Bulletin Number: 52810 Report Date: Jun 01, 1999 Component: Vehicle Speed Control
Summary: Information regarding intermittent loss of cruise control. *tt"
But they're not in the alldatadiy database. I contacted them about this missing documents, but didn't receive a meaningful reply.

sorry for the late reply but I could not find any info on the cruise control issue. as far as the headgasket one goes, what do you need from that? the torque spec and procedure? I have it memorized since im in the middle of putting my car back together.

Happy (belated) St. Patrick's Day, 0'Boost. Thanks for checking and if you used the alldatadiy.com database, then your experience is consistent with mine. The TSBs I want aren't available.
I've already done the head gasket, and the cruise control issue comes and goes. Maybe I'll try the NHTSA, though I understand that they charge a "re$earch" fee for each TSB.
