Well on the way back from the track this weekend I was accelerating in the 5th gear very hard full boost and when i hit almost 4000 rpms Bang I lost 5th gear. So for all you boosted guys out there who said not to worry about 5th gear be Very Carefull.
Back in the old HA fourm days Random and a couple other ppl stressed the fact that not drive to hard in 5th with more then 200 whp.
It was prolly only my 5 or 6th time trying it this year
Oh well shit happens lmao.gif
Any thoughts on the best transmission to get with better gearing? Is the elantra tranny all that better?
Oh and the car maid some good #'s 13.23 @ 105.9 MPH still breaking traction after the 60ft. My 60 ft was 2.09
The BFG drag radials are ok but I need me some slicks laugh.gif
Better times to come yet haha.gif

Also anything from a 97-05 with 2.0L will bolt up and the clutch/lsd/axels will all be the same?

oops.. better not push my 5th gear too hard.. i was accel alot on highway with my 5th gear this weekend... ooops... i think you can swap elantra tranny... still selling ur LSD to me?? tried hittin u up on MSN..
13.23 is perdy good mang.. what psi were you at 17 still at 250 whp??
i wish they made a longer gear for 5th cuz cruising at 80 @ 3,700rpms blows.. im used to tha grand am at like 2900 @ 80.. turbo kept wanting to spool up on me so i had to keep letting my BOV empty lolz..
thanx for letting me know to be careful in 5th, cuz i was really liking the whole accel in 5th for once lol.. guess i wont do that nemore..

The elantra has much better gearing as far 4th gear.
Who said not to worry about 5th gear while boosting??? Onpol used to always say 5th gear was crap... I always said it was crap (well i think the tranny is crap period).
I have an elantra tranny in my tib right now. Its an 03 tranny. It fits with only a slight modification to the housing behind the rear tranny mount (you just need to grind it a bit).
Its ok, except you need to play with the shifter cables.. sometimes the shifter gets *stuck*.
I still need to play with adjusting the cables a bit... hopefully i can figure it out before im boosting a crazy amount of PSI.

well if you contact mad_john he can get you a longer 5th gear for a decent price
might even be stronger
might even be stronger
ill have to ask him about that.. maybe i can get a longer 5th gear with different gearing of others.. like a FGR from kspec with a longer 5th gear?? would that work.. im not a transmision guy.. heh.. i just want to build my trans up, even tho i really wont need to, i just want to have everything build way over what i will need it for, just so i know itll hold and if i ever just wanna boost things up one day wont have to worry about breaking..

Well if your worried about your tranny breaking..
Switch the main gear, 5th gear, synchros, differential, and while your in there... have your tech pay special attention to the clearances on the differential to see if additional shims are needed.

Ok back on topic hear i am getting a new tranny tomorrow.
I am not worried about 5th gear. I cross the line in 4th at the track and around the city i dont get in 5th
Jaws is the gearing the exact same between the tiburon and elantra threw 1-3 with 4 gear only being longer?
This is what is available to be
04 Tiburon tranny, 6000 kms
02 elantra 30,000 kms
98 elantra with 46,000 kms
What is the best to go with hear?
I am kinda leaning towards the 04 tib tranny because its pretty much brand new. I am not to worried about longer gearing because I will be happy with a 12 sec tiburon and with some new bogart wheels and the righ size slick I will be fine.
But i am worried about what jaws said about the linkages. I was having some problems of 4th gear locking me out sometimes maybe my linkages just may need to be adjusted?
I need some thoughts and opinions here ppl.

Well i dont know what the gearing is on the 04 tiburon.. so i cant help you there.
As far as it locking you.. im *HOPING* that adjusting them will do the trick...
With the 03 tranny.. im getting it quite a lot..
Also.. the 02 elantra tranny and the 03 elantra tranny have a different case.. so it could be that the links are different (longer or shorter)
I would go with the tiburon tranny because its newer as well..
You might wanna check out the gear ratios on it though.. I do know that the 02 elantra is a perfect fit though.
1-3 are the same, 4th is longer..
