I know i'v started a lot of treads, but i'm having a lot of problems with my car. Big mistake to buy it.
Anyways, I called hyundai they ran the vin for me and it came with a 6 speed transmission. I bought this car, took it all apart and it has a 5 speed transmission in it. BUT the slave cylinder for a 5 speed doesn't work the 6 speed does ? ALSO the drivers side cv shaft for the 5 speed doesn't fit ? what the hell is going on this makes no sense.

This is a 2003 tiburon, made in january 2003, guy said it was a gt ? who know's guy was full of SH**

We went through all the gears, has 5 plus reverse, they all run smooth so i dont think the tranny is broken or anything, they guy told me only thing wrong was i needed a new clutch, so i take it apart and find all these things i need. So i was doing the fly and clutch, had to get a slave, but the 5 speed didn't fit, so i got a 6 and it fits, i also got a 5 speed cv shaft, but the diameter of it is way to small to fit in the whole in the transmission. I called hyundai they said it came factory a 6 speed, but if there is a 5 speed tranny why do non of those things fit ?
Had to tow it home, so i have never driven the car

going throught the gears as the transmission is out it does 1 and 2 straight up and down 3 and 4 straight up and down, then 5 there is nothing below is you go down and over to get to reverse.

1 3 5

2 4 R

Show us pictures of the shifter, also remove the plastic cover/the shiftboot area and show us pictures of the inside. That will let us know if the shifter linkages inside the car are for a 6 speed, then you'll have to determine if the transmission itself is a 5 or 6 six speed.

Now, you said you had to pull up, and push over to hit reverse..... This sounds to me like the prior owner Blew out 6th gear....

because the 5 speed shift pattern has reverse right above first gear (i think).

so a five speed should be:
r/2/4
1/3/5

while the six speed is:
1/3/5
2/4/6/R

no im saying reverse is like normal shifting just you have to go farther to the right to go down cause you can't go straight from 5th to reverse, and i tried going into 6th even if it was blown, there isn't even a hint of a notch or anything where sixth gear would have been.

Post pics of the linkage under the shift plate and boot.

If you have a 6sp it WILL have a reverse lock out ring on the shifter. This exists to keep you going into reverse instead of 6th gear. The 5spd tranny does not have a lock out because its harder to accidentally go into reverse. My guess is you got screwed.

actualy there is a lock on the 5 speed transmissions... it only locks out 5th to reverse but if you put it in 4th then reverse then it will go in following the traditional 5 spd gear pattern

not gonna lie... that doesn't look like my 6speed... it's been a few months but i'm pretty sure theres an extra piece missing off the end... (the 6th gear)

i maybe wrong... i'll look tomorrow... but i'm thinking the 6 speed is just a bit longer... either way there is a good chance the guy before you bought a 5-speed started putting it in and realized it won't work... and just put it together enough u couldn't tell... and handed his mistake on to u... if hyundai says it should be a 6-speed then i'd find someone local with a six speed to compare parts to and see if he partially swapped before giving up...

i have no clue what they're talking about with the shifter but i've never seen, drivin, or even sat in a 5-speed tiburon... if u look in the tech manual's there will be plenty of pics of 5-speed and 6-speed and most likely will have difference between model numbers of components like the slave cylinder (if it's different) if u search the forums for tech manual u'll find a link to download them...

u gotta remember logic says "compare to something" if nobody replies quickly then u'll have to find out urself... tech manuals save A LOT of guess work
