Hyundai Aftermarket

Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

Default elantra/tibby tranny ?;)
Ok, i know that the tibby and elantra share the same engine, but i've never heard of anybody putting an elantra tranny in a tibby. Is it possible? I'm going a 5-speed swap soon, and they are easier to find at a junkyard than a tibby.

If the years match, it should work.

But the elantra gearing will make the car slower, since it has taller gears
