I've decided to swap my 98 FX over to manual...

If anyone has any of the parts I need, please let me know...

Thanks,

KC

 

I'll look in the garage and check if I have some extra parts from my swap. If you want a complete list search for my trans swap thread... "transmission swap list"

 

Thanks bro, let me know if you have anything....

Here is the list I have of parts I need (to the best of my knowledge)...

Manual transmission
Manual transmission Drivers side motor mount (frame side and tranny side)
Manual transmission front and rear roll mounts (tranny side and crossmember side)
Manual transmission shifter cables.

I found a car with a bad set of intake valves due to a broken timing belt, and bought the whole thing for $800 when I did my swap. I can't tell you how much easier it was with the whole car right there, than some of the stories I've heard from others here who pieced their swap parts together from here and there. Keep your eyes peeled for a parts car (Elantra or Tiburon) on Craigslist.

 

I found a 2000 Elantra GS for $700...still waiting to hear from the owner though...I emailed him yesterday.

Would the transmission in it be the same as the 2.0 Tibby?

Thanks,

KC

 

It'll work.

 

That would have to be a GLS. Automatic transaxles changed enough to be model-year significant, but the manual transaxles will swap all the way into the next generation, as long as it comes from a 4-cylinder car. 1.8/2.0 engines can mount the transmission housing interchangeably . . . my 2000 2.0L has a 1998 1.8L transmission on it.

If you do end up with that car, I have a parts request that will be a WHOLE lot easier with the engine out. Keep us updated, and

The only thing that changes is gearing.
