Default Can you fit a Beta Gearbox on Alpha Engine?

I Don't wanna buy a Alpha Box if the Beta one will fit. Because i had a beta swap engine. all my sensors and Cables have been converted for the gearbox.



Im not sure if the driveshaft/Starter/Bolts will line up.





Is anyone 100% sure ?

we only have 1.5 alpha engine i think. unless the 1.6 is in the newer LC2



what is weird is my 2002 1.3 alpha as a smaller flywheel and clutch as my newer 1.3 had.



anychance the newer 1.3 alphas was blessed with the 1.6 flywheel/clutch ?

if gearbox fits and bolts up would it be ok ?

I have know idea about the 1.3L, you will need the 1.6L flywheel because is will directly fit the pressure plate.

Clutchs..





1.3 2006



Cover Diameter(mm) 215



1.6 2003



Plate Diameter(mm) 215





So if they use same Clutch plate is there a chance maybe Beta gearbox will fit without flywheel change? Will 2.0 Beta Flywheel fit the Alpha to save spending close to $200 on a flywheel ?

Alpha uses push pressure plates, Beta uses Pull so you cant use alpha pressure plates.

This is where it gets confusing.. lol The 2.0 Beta is also uses 215mm Pressure plate.



So can't i fit the Beta clutch and Pressure plate right onto the Alpha Flywheel ?





I.e If the beta Clutch/Pressure plate bolts too the Alpha Flywheel. I can Tighten down the gearbox. Should it be ok ?



From 1999 till 2005 Hyundai Used the 184mm Clutch Kits. (Will Require a new Flywheel)

From 2006 till 2008 Hyundai Used the 215mm Clutch Kits. (Same size as Beta Kit / 1.6 Alpha)
