Popping out of gear

I don't know if any one knows but I have a coupe 07 there and she was popping out of gear for me I was worried that is the gear packs but turns out it was my linkage bushing if anyone has same issue before going at the gearbox have a look if that bushing is torn or worn out. To fix mine I superglue the centerpiece temporarily until the part comes.

Throttle Position Trouble(help!)

I’ve gone through 3 different Throttle Position Sensors.

2008 Tib GT 5 speed

I’m having all sorts of trouble most all of which seems related to a faulty throttle position reading. WHEN this occurs (70-80% of the time right now ) I’m having rough low revs, ***CONSISTENT and bad misfires at 3,000 rpm ***resulting in total power drop off. This is the same in every gear. I can’t idle consistently without occasional stall…. Struggles to restart sometimes requiring me to feather the throttle. When we scanned it the TPS was the only code to be seen but I’ve changed it 3 times now and still having this problem.

Is this maybe a wiring issue? Someone please help before my mechanic and I have to dig dig dig through this machine that is supposed to always be an affordable fix.

Parts

Hey all, so I am slowly trying to restore my 03 back to glory. I, however, need to find so small interior parts. The pick in pulls around me don't have any. The dealerships are a dead end. I have found a few on line. Anyone have stuff they are trying to sell or may know where to to to get

Turbochargeing or supercharger

How are you lads. I got a brilliant idea of trying to turdo charge my 1.6 petrol coupe. I need some advice with this and if its a good idea. If anyone has done this can't you tell me what I need to look out for, where I can get a full turdo kit, what would give me the most power overall, what else would I need to upgrade?

Loud tapping noise that randomly goes away

I have an 03 tiburon with 120k miles. The past few weeks I have been experiencing this (mainly on cold starts, and 90% of the time it goes away once it warms up) but i have a loud tapping noise at idle. When I started driving it increases with the speed, but then it'll get faster and then the noise stops. It'll stop until I either shift, or sometimes it randomly comes on.

Once the car is heated up after driving a bit it seems to stop completely. Has anyone experienced this? Is it a major concern?

How bad is a rusted subframe?

Hey guys I'm new to the community, I just bought a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon GS and found out that it has a quite rusty subframe which won't allow me to safety the car in Ontario. I saw the you are able to buy a new subframe but I wanted to know how difficult or costly that would be. Also if I'm able to even salvage the one I have already it would even be better. If anyone can offer me any details or quotes that they received for similar work I'd really appreciate it!!

Need some Tranny help 😏

Hey yall!! I’m replacing the internals on my transmission (car is struggling to go in and out of gear), but can’t get the bell housing off for the life of me! It slides a little bit but then gets hung up on something. I have the subframe dropped and can’t seem to see what it’s getting hung up on. Does anyone have a good tutorial? I must have missed something
