Hyundai Sonata 5-speed Transmission

I'd definitely like to hear what happened with the swap and possibly see some pics, looking into doing this and a sonata/optima head swap once i finishing paying off my wonderful $2400 bill for a blown headgasket, radiator, and 4 new tires.

Good god! where in the hell do you get your work done at? That shouldnt have costed that much for all that!

haha I don't know, it's the mechanic my family has taken all of our cars to for like 17 years...my mom wouldn't let me do the work myself because it's my dd and i need it to get to school, so made me take it to our mech, but also made me pay for it. It was like $1300 for the engine work, $500 for a new radiator, and 4 new tires ran like $550 or something, then there were a couple of various other little things that it was time to replace, but I definitely agree with you about it costing too much.

$500 for a new radiator ?? i paid less than $100 for mine and i did it myself

as far as the swap, the kid sold the car and never installed anything and i was gonna experiment with it but i found me a 3g tranny for cheap so i jumped on it

Oh alright, well if anyone comes across a sonata tranny layin around and trys it out let us know...if not I guess it's gonna be a summer of looking for a cheap eclipse tranny.

can i swap an optima or sonata rear disc set-up and still be able to use my galant ebrake cables without having to mod the backing plates to fit?

**lonestar22** · 04-24-2009, 07:58 PM

its possible, i just know i was looking at my car and my coworkers and they have the same calipers rotors and hubs and whatnot

any updates??? I heard that they fit but the gear ratios are a lil different than the 3g eclipse tranny.. anybody still into this??? Im motivated !! for the price of the eclipse tranny i can get the full tranny swap pedals etc and the dohc head swap using hyundai/kia parts. i think the most expensive thing will be getting re turned...

**sweetlew** · 07-17-2009, 11:06 AM

i just found a totaled 2002 sonata on craigslist by my house. so is it for sure that the tranny will fit and what about the rear disk brakes

**sweetlew** · 07-17-2009, 11:12 AM

just found out that the tranny is messed up so im gonna go to pull a part and just buy one and see if it fits, all the trannys there are only $50

**bronxbombr** · 07-19-2009, 02:32 AM

Any more news on this yet?

**run1206** · 07-27-2009, 04:18 PM

damn, too bad i just bought a 3G manual tranny before i read this thread

hope it works. hell, for $300 i could get the sonata transmission for my aunt's 02 Galant.

What trasmission cou|d I use for my v6!

**Exhaust power** · 12-16-2009, 10:27 AM

just wanted to know did anybody run an eclipse fly/clutch set for the hyundai tranny? i have both hyundai clutch set/ no fly and eclipes clutch set/fly.

I just need a tob for the eclipse but i dont see how its going to work with the fork mechanism on the tranny just got me wondering when i was looking at gooseys swap i didnt see a tob in the pressure plate like my hyundai pressure plate has. are there different set ups?

**WhiteGalant** · 12-16-2009, 11:25 AM

For some reason I don't think this tranny is gonna work

**Exhaust power** · 12-16-2009, 11:32 AM

im pretty much shore its been used/ran before on the galant.

**4g63lover** · 12-16-2009, 11:40 AM

If the bellhousing matches up I can only see two types of things that can make this not work, the spline count for the axles and how the shifter cables are ran.
