My tranny blew on my 97 tibby so anyways I was woundering if anybody knows if an 01 tranny will fit in my car? So can anybody help me or has anybody ever tried it?

 

There are diffrences in Automatic transmission from the 97-00 tiburons and 01 tiburons

1997 - and some 2000 (depending on production early or late run) Tiburons equiped with automatics transmissons had the "PWR/NOR" switch on the center shifter area. These automatic transmissons had 2 shifts valves to control the 4 speeds.

Some 2000 - 2001 Tiburons did NOT have the "PWR/NOR" switch. The trans had 2 shift valves and 1 line applying pressure valve that reduces shift shock and has smoother shifts.

Either transmisson are not compatible in either cars, there diffrences are in the TCM (transmisson contrrol module) and the ability to control the extra shift valve.

Since you said that you have a 97 tiburon the 01 transmisson will not work with your car. The 01 Tiburon transmisson will fit in the 97 physically but will not shift correctly

Jaws, I am asuuming if the TVM was replaced, then this would correct the problem?

 

It would not, there are a few wires that are not installed in the wiring harness onthe older Tibs. The newer Tibs have that extra shift solenoid, therefore requiring more wire in the wiring harness.

 

How many miles did you put on it before it blew???
Hope you have some luck findin' one! Just call around to the local junk yards and see if they have any decent trannys with decent mileage on them. Good luck!

 

thanks the car only has 51000 miles on it thats why im so mad the tranny sux on theses tibbys.
thats what i have found out i have done alot of research on it auto trannys sux

 

Shouldn't powertrain warranty cover this repair, or did Hyundai not have the 10/100,000 back then?

 

no 10/100000 then. The trannys are similar to Mitsu ones and are a 50/50 chance of being good, or bad
