Alpha Gearbox Upgrade confirmed.
Been using this setup for a while and i haven't had any Transmission leaks or problems as of yet.
Engine: Need's to be a newer Alpha engine with a 215mm Push type Clutch or use the Flywheel from another Version
Clutch: You need a 215mm pull Type Tiburon Clutch Kit to replace the 215mm Push Type Clutch that the Alpha Gearbox Uses.
Gearbox: I used Mk1 Tiburon
Driveline/Drive shafts: OEM Accents.
Rear Engine mount: OEM Accent.
Front Engine mount: OEM Accent.
Top Gearbox mount: OEM Accent.
Mods: The Selector Bracket. Needs to be Fitted onto the Tiburon gearbox (2 bolts) (12mm)
Mods: The Speedo sensor needs to be removed and accent one fitted if u have a manual Speedo Cable
Mods: The Rev Light Sensor on the Tiburon Box is in the way of the accent Mount. Needs to be Cut down and soldered/Heatshrinked.
Testing: i Drove a good few miles and under the transmission was bone Dry. I tested a few hills in 5th Gear and pulled perfect. Even as low as 20Mph. So the gears aren't too long for the 1.3 to handle
Hope this helps anyone, Because of difference in country some parts in Usa may be different in UK. So any questions welcome.

meh be stupid not change worn clutch for new one if ur taking it apart anyways. Plus the 215mm Clutch will take more power the normal 185mm one.
