Hello Everyone,
So i am new to this forum and I have a question about an engine swap that is going into a non-dsm chassis. The problem i'm going running into is transmission related and i need your help and some advice. I have a 2002 Hyundai Elantra GLS 4 door that has the XD20 w/a manual transmission. I have had this car for about 3 years and currently needs a lot of work done to it to even make it road worthy. I know what your thinking right now and this is not a prank in the slightest.
I previously own an 96 Eagle Talon TSI AWD which was about 16 years ago and has gone to the parking lot in the sky due to being rear ended by a 04 Dodge 3500 with a cow crusher.
The reason why i am posting this is because I would like to turn this Hyundai into a cheap (some what cheap) track car or more road course. I know that a 03 - 06 EVO 8 4G63T motor will bolt up to the same motor mount location that the factory XD20 mounts to. The tricky part is needing a FWD transmission that will bolt up to the motor. I was wondering if the 95-98 Eclipse GST trans will bolt up to the motor.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the noobie question.
