I have the car listed above sedan (VIN F 8th digit) engine that started knocking recently. I was wondering if can swap it out with a 2017 or a 2018 Elantra hatchback GT 2.0L GDI (vin H 8th digit) and will it line up with the transmission I have currently?

Hi,

Before doing anything, contact a dealer near you. There are several different issues with bearing issues that are being covered under (what I call) a silent recall. If you have an engine knock, the powertrain warranty is 10 years or 100,000 miles, so engine replacement should be covered regardless at their expense.

Let me know what you find out. I'm interested in knowing.
