02 Elantra
I am thinking of buying a used 02 elatnra with the 5 sp transmission. It
has 44000 for a 2 year old car. Looking for advice from anybody who has one or can attest to their performance. Thanks in advance! Todd |
Re: 02 Elantra
I had to overhaul a 5-speed tranny that was grinding into 2nd gear on a new
'04 Elantra (less than 4,000 mi, I think). I've seen some remarks about gear grinding on the Elantra here, but that's my only personal experience. After replacing some synchronizers and the gears and other parts damaged by the grinding, all operated well. It looked to me like it may have been a machining issue and something that was not operating correctly off the assembly line. I suspect that those which don't have a problem will continue to not have a problem and those which do, won't have the problem after being repaired. I believe the 01-04 Elantras all used the same 5-speed. I don't recall anything which I've seen as a repeat nuisance problem area on these cars. |

I have an '03 elantra 5spd, which is pretty much the same thing as yours. I've racked up about 27k miles so far, and it's still performing beautifully. No problems whatsoever with the tranny. It's my first manual so I'm not sure if this is a standard thing or if it's just this car, but the clutch is hellishly sensitive when the car is cold (i.e., you have to engage it just right or the car bucks), but gets better as the car warms up, after about 2 minutes.

You've probably already reserched price but could help anyway.

Re: 02 Elantra
I own a '02 Elantra. Purchased it about a year ago, I would never recommend
it to anyone! Yeah they're cheap but you get what you pay for. |

I own a 2002 Elantra GT since November 2001 and it is the best Hyundai I have owned. My website speaks as to my recommendations. Wayne Moses, 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT http://egt.gwebworks.com |

Michael, if you can keep a Chevy van (or any vehicle for that matter) for 24 years then you must care for your vehicles, and must maintain and look after them well. That is all your wife's Elantra will need and it should last just as long provided it is not in a wintery (salt on the roads) type climate in which case the job gets that much harder. The difficulty in keeping the EGT for 24 years would be parts. Unlike Chevy which not only keep the same parts for years and years, re-using the old technology on new vehicles etc., there is a good aftermarket support. The same cannot be said for Hyundai, so you'd likely run out of parts long before the 24 years are up. -- Wayne Moses, 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT http://egt.gwebworks.com |
