Hyundai: Interchangeability between Lantra (Europe) and Elantra (US)?

Hi,

I have a 2000 Elantra GLS wagon that I bought in the US. About 1.5 years
after I bought it, the automatic transmission needed to be replaced under
warranty. Hyundai stood by it, no problem.

Since that time, I have moved to Germany and shipped the car here as well.
That was almost two years ago. I have now been told that the transmission
needs to be replaced AGAIN.

One concern: In Europe, Hyundai doesn't sell the Elantra; but they sell the
Lantra. I've seen several that look at least outwardly to be virtually
identical.

Does anyone know whether a Lantra transmission would work in an Elantra? I'm
still trying to see if I can get this under warranty since I'm still under 5
years/100,000 miles...trying to hash out whether tha fact that I'm now in
Europe is an issue. Hopefully, I can avoid having to have a new
transmission shipped from the US.

I had to have the windshield replaced last year, and they were able to use a
Lantra windshield.

Thanks,
Mike

I really have no idea. The only way to tell would be to get the part
number for each and see if they are different.
