I HATE my Tib!

Yep...that's right...I can't stand my Tib now. Why? Because supposedly last year in the summer of '04 my synchronizers were fixed on 3rd gear. Well....since this past Christmas 3rd gear has been coming out of gear on its own. So whenever I shifted into 3rd gear, it would pop out on its own every now and then. But the problem persisted and got worse. Now....keep in mind that I don't have $700 that Hyundai wants from me to get this problem fixed. So what does a poor white boy do? Drives it and tries his best to save $$ to get it fixed. Months down the road...he still does not have it because of other bills and lousy pay at his job.

So...I am now stuck with my crappy Tib and when I shift into 3rd gear, it will not....absolutely will not accept 3rd gear. I'm assuming the synchro's are messed up and the gears themselves are so messed up, that it won't even take. All I even get is a bunch of grinding noise. I have to skip 3rd gear and shift into 4th gear and when I do that....it grinds just a bit b/c I skipped a gear. It's really making me --> Should I have the transmission rebuilt or buy a new one? I guess I'll have to get a $10,000 loan or something and just get everything wrong with that hunk of junk fixed. I know one thing....I'd like to kick the girl who drove it before me...b/c I sure as heck didn't do this to the car. I think I'll just stick with automatics next time round I buy a car.

Re: I HATE my Tib!

Of all the vehicles I have owned, not one auto gave me a problem.

Re: I HATE my Tib!

I used to have an auto tib... second gear started to slip but Hyundai replaced the whole transmission for me for free.
Try to find a junkyard with a tib in it and maybe rip out the tranny from there (highly unlikely but still a chance) buy a new trans from ebay (I've found whole engines for 600 I'm sure you can find a tranny for a decent price) or just bite the bullet for awhile till you can pay the $700 and don't shift into 3rd... you can easily get by skipping 3rd gear you've obviously done so for awhile now

Only auto trans that gave me a problem was an '86 Audi Coupe. Basicly, the entire car was a POS.

No....it's not that I'm getting by skipping 3rd gear w/ no problems. See....when I shift straight from 2nd to 4th gear on the road....I get a grinding when I shift into 4th gear. Not a whole bunch....but just enough to grind and I'm afraid to mess up 4th gear now.


Who in the world is selling a tranny for 75 bux on eBay? must be a POS cheap o tranny not worth a hoot....

i guess i can look for one in a junk yard or on eBay though...thanks for the help guys. appreciate it

Re: I HATE my Tib!
