Confirmed..Internal parts of the tranny are same as Santa Fe 2004 and Mitsu Outlander..He mentioned a part that all GT-A broke..dont remember the name,but he told me that the discs and some other internal are the same, Same as Water Pump..I saw a GT-A that had a bad water pump and owner got a Outlander Water Pump, Incredible but the same...

Hyundai have had really close ties with Mitsubishi for a long time. Pretty much all their earlier cars 'major parts such as engine and tranny were all sourced from Mitsubishi. Also the first generation of their flagship 'Equus' was a joint project with Mitsubishi.
Also another interesting thing is that S2000 uses 4.1 final gear from Mazda, and Kia Sportage uses 4.77 final gear also from Mazda, and they are interchangeable.

The transmission shat its self and I have since put a manual 5 speed in it.

I have a GT-A with just over 102.000 kms or approx. 61.000 miles with some mods pushing about 280 ish and driven very hard at times and my auto is holding strong. Doesn't help to much if you go much higher like you plan but at least you know you should be safe to that.....If you don't drive it to full on hard I think til about 350 should be fine.

The Story About My Particular GT-A....
Well, I guess a proper parts list and a story is due here as this thread still gets hits..
I now live in Tokyo, Japan and this is my 2002 Lancer GT-A....
I have decided to go with a complete Evolution 9 conversion and here is the final product.
This car will be featured in the 2013 Anual Hyper Rev Lancer Edition as a Launsports Demo car.... here is shot of the photo shoot.
This unit stands on 17x8.5 BBS RG-R wheels with Potenza RE11 tires and has Ohlins DFV dampers as well as a complete Cusco underbrace package to tie things up...
Here is a shot of the engine bay...
Parts List....
Blitz Sonic Core Air Filter-contrary to poular beliefs, aftermarkets work better than a stock box IF YOU DUCT FRESH COOL AIR IN!!!!
Evolution 9 TD05-10.5 turbine with titanium blades- the magnesium alloy blades are junk after 1.2 bar boost BEWARE!!!!
Ralliart intercooler plumbing
HKS blow-off valve
Ralliart Stainless Steel Exhaust manifold
Tomei 264 camshafts INT/EX
Tomei Down Pipe
Tomei Catalizer
RS-R Titanium center and tail muffler
Reflashed ECU map set at 1.4 Bar boost, good for 380 bhp on cold days...
extensive earthing and ignition upgrades
AT oil cooler
Interior Shot....
I have fitted paddle shifters from a D-5 delica and wired it to the center floor gate.
This by far is a excellent upgrade!!!!
The ususal Recaro and CF dress up parts....
If you need advise, PM me!~

modding an evo vii gt-a
Hi There..
You have a very nice GT-A out there. lots of mods too. have you encounter any problem on the auto gearbox at 380bhp and any idea on what maximum power the gearbox will hold and have you removed the speed restrictor.

Oh just to be clear as I wasn't at all my GT-a has 275-280 BHP atw not from flywheel so even though i'm not up to the miles (85 thou) when the earlier guy's auto gave up at 61 thou miles and some hard driving my gear box still seem's fine at that level but since I have had it I have not done to many launches(approx 10)...still maybe that helps others when considering how far they can push it.
