Alright well I decided it's time to give the tib some TLC and change a lot of things that I don't think have EVER been changed and it's nearing 118,000 miles.

I'm buying a crank pulley, so now is a good time to change the timing belt right (are they really $60?)

Are there any other belts that have recommended changing intervals, the timing belt is 60,000 right?

For tranny servicing, I should use Hyundai ATF, order a new fluid filter and pan gasket right? Should I get the transmission flushed, or could that possibly do more damage?

Where to get an OEM fuel filter? this one looks cheap http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW

Already have new spark plugs+wires, and of cours I do regular oil changes.

Anyone have anything else to add?

 

Timing belts are good for 60K miles, no point in pushing your luck after that. 118K is a good time to get a new one in there..

I think they're going to go for more than $60. Around $200 or so sounds more accurate for a timing belt. Especially if it's from the dealership.

 

I found an OEM one at hypartswholesale.com for $54.60

 

Good eye, Zoned.

God knows if that things used though.=x

Quite a deal, I may add. For 60K mile service, I was ripped off. They charged me nearly $400 for a timing belt.

 

Damn, $400!?

What did you do for servicing your tranny 2kshark, I read somewhere that you got it serviced and it fixed your slippage problems.

 

If you will be changing timing belt, I would recommend you changine all belts (A/C, alternator, power steering).

How long ago did you change anti-freez and brake fliud?

Hmmm, OEM fuel filter is black with hologram on it. However price is good (in Ukraine OEM fuel filter at the dealer is about $11-12)

 

For the tranny fluid just remember that the bolts on the pan are 9 ft/lbs, I broke a few but no leaks, I changed mine a little over a year ago when I first got the tib, it was black

 

Other than Redline, which Tranny fluid is recommended?

Is it a complicated process? Or as simple as changing oil?

Thanks

Basically, everyone recommends Redline. Amsoil makes good synthetic products and they just came out with GL-4 gear oil so you could try that. I would have used it myself instead of the Redline if it was available before now.

Changing the manual transmission oil is pretty easy. Much like changing the oil except you have to add the new oil through a fill hole in the side of the transmission instead of removing a cap and pouring it in.

 

Is this what you're talking about?

Is it the right 'thickness' for our transmissions? How many quarts would be needed?


Thanks
