Hi, I drive a 2001 Tiburon, with about 4500 miles on it, and when i shift to 3rd gear, when im going a bit higher on RPM's than the hyundai manual suggests, its a bit of a rough transition. It was the same before i put in a short shifter, but when i drive, well.... the speed limit, this problem goes away, smooth shift... The only performance mods i have are 17" konig traffik wheels, and falken ziex 502' tires.. 205/140/17, CAI, exhaust,lowering springs, & rear strut bar.. I don't think any of this has any effect on this sloppy.. almost scratchy 3rd gear transition... Anyone have any ideas on what this is, and how i could fix it?

alright, I'll definatly look into that, the people at the dealership didn't seem to frown on modifications and so forth when i was buying the car, but we'll see how they are when i take it in to get looked at... I have about 3 weeks vacation from college, so i'll be driving my old car (86 volvo 240 gl ) for a while unless they actually supply a rental car.... if they bring up the short shifter supposedly voiding my warrenty, i'll have to call my lawyer, im not getting jerked around by car salesmen and/or the dealership. thanks for the advice.

went to the dealership today... left the car there for about 3-4 hours... then i was called.. that they ordered my 'part' and that it wont be in for a week, so i could pick up my car.... when i got back to the dealership.. i was told the 'part' was a new transmission... wtf?!? it is covered under warrenty.... so im cool with it.. they better hook up a rental or a loaner during the 2 days it takes to swap the tranny's.... ah well... problem fixed apparantly... i have a week to really break the tranny j/k

no kidding 3 hours? yeah i was wondering about that myself... a friend of mine works on a lot of small block chevy's... and he said 2 days for a tranny swap? wtf? ah well though, as long as i have something to drive, at their expense im not too concerned. i asked them about 1.8L camshafts, but i had heard that the performance gain isn't even noticable? would it be much of a gain, or should i just go with performance cam shafts?

cool, cool.... ECU would be cool also. i guess the only thing stopping me.. is lack of motivation based on the warrenty being held in the balance between performance, and well.. the warrenty.... im wanting to hook up that alpine turbo charger, possibly supercharger im not sure yet, cam, ect.. i've even seen a quad throttle body for a tiburon, anyone have any info on that?
