The Alpha tranny has smaller/weaker differential case.

I personally separated an alpha trans from a 2.0 beta and watched bearings fall out of the bell-housing. What bearings you ask? The output-shaft shot through the case.

If you are going to boost a light weight car, id say get an XD trans. They are normally cheap and they have a bit longer gearing. It might help that little boosted thing out to not blow through 1st so fast.



Or do what Juanra said but be prepared to switch other stuff out like the hydraulic system, etc. Should be easy stuff if you can swap a mitz trans onto a beta.

TO do a mitsu swap needs custom fabrication.

XD = 01-07 Elantra. Anything listed for a 97-01 03-06(?) 4cyl Tiburons and elantras work. They can also use mitz clutches if you convert the from pull to push.

XD is the 01 to 06ish? elantra, I have the manual trans from an 02 Elantra with the 2.0 beta 2 also from the same elantra and i like the gearing a lot.
