another 5spd swap question
I have a 1997 fx tiburon with a 99 2.0 liter in it. I broke reverse gear and I can hear grinding and other noises in the trans. I'm going to swap it out becasue the trans has 173k on it I don't want to rebuild it. I found a good deal on a 1997 elantra trans with 89k on it I know it will bolt up, but ,will the 2.0 clutch and flywheel work or do I have to get a 1.8 liter clutch. I tried searching on forum with no luck. Thanks for the help.

If this is on a car that is already a stick-shift you're good to go. When converting from an automatic, you need to worry about the flywheel mounting. The data: in my conversion thread: https://www.hyundaiaftermarket.org/forum/in...st&p=541075
If you get the flywheel from a 1.8L you can use the adapter made for the purpose, available from your local dealer. That is what I did.
The clutch itself is a universal part . . . on the authoritative cross-reference list, they are said to work from 97 through 06 ( ! ) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hyundai-Tib...sQ5fAccessories

Correct me if im wrong but is the crank shaft different from 98 -00 so if you install an 00 clutch on a 98 you need an adapter plate?

00-01 tibs had different cranks i had to buy a new flywheel cause i failed to see an adapter on my crank i had a 2000 motor and 99 clutch/flywheel sett-up.
i believe the trans is the same except for autos
the flywheels and cranks are different through the years

I'm sorry if I was not clear. The car is already a 5spd I just want to put a low milage 97 elantra trans in it because I found a great deal. Right now it has 99 2.0 motr in it with a 1997 flywheel and clutch and itit works just fine I broke something in the reverse gear and it it is making noise in 1st and 2nd. I am upgrading the clutch to a clutch master but I will use a 1997 set up and keep the flywheel and just resurface it. I Just did not know if there was a big differnce on the 1997 tib fx 2.0 to a 1997 elantra 1.8 trans besides the 4th gear being a little different. Thanks for help>

Just wanted to give an update. Installed the trans and it work great no problems. I did not put the updated clutch in it yet. I wanted to make sure the trans I got was good to go and it is. After x-mas I will be putting in the stage 4 clutchmaster clutch and having the head set out for some port and polish work.

Get a spare head to be reworked if you can. Then your car isn't down until the head comes back, and if the head comes back bad, you still have a known-good head handy.
