SR20 IN ELANTRA... SOME PROBLEMS

[Grind]

I recently put an automatic SR20 engine in a 1999-2000 model elantra and have a few problems that I need assistance with.
* The gear shifter is not properly lined up
* The Tachometer vibrates while movint through the range put is generally in the about the right position
* The speedometer does not work
* The overdrive switch used to work but no longer does; it still goes into overdrive as it should though
* Once the car goes into overdrive it feels as if it wants to buck and cut off. It never does though and once I step on the accelerator a bit it smoothes out

Can anyone direct me to a GOOD, REPUTABLE mechanic who can help me out with these issues?

Sorry to hear to things due but generally why you cross breed like that you end up with those sort of problems.

I know that there are some things you can't get away from but this is such a common swap that I'm sure there are ppl out there who have the experience and can help out a bit. Ent?

it annoys me everytime i hear of an elantra with a dated nissan sr20de swap. not only is it a trouble-some combination it destroys the resale value even more. Proper care and maintainance of the car's original engine/tranny would have avoided this as buying an sr20 with transmission then getting it installed costs money and there's no guarantee that its a good engine installed and as the norm these days it have ah set of mechanics lately who could do this and do that thus fueling alot of cross-breeding mayhem with more problems which costs money.

but good luck otherwise.

Grind, don't study the paper tuners hoss...

all of them believe the myth that; ' a conversion go never be as bess as original bhai' cuz they read that on some online forum or personally thinks the idea is too much of a headache for them

Sad to see people with common sense forgetting that it's simply mechanical parts bolting onto another onto another etc.....once done RIGHT, no problems...

Look I have a pardna runnin a highly powered sr20det in an Accent and that thing does drive/ shift like yuh never interfered with it.....even my car, operates totally original for a conversion....

Is just that we did our research and have a boss of a mechanic....mostly attributed to the latter tho

pm meh if yuh want some real results...mech located in Freeport.
