96 Neon Tranny Q's

What is all needed in order to drop a tranny from a 96 neon into my talon? I'm just wondering.

I'm thinking about doing this as well.

Since the junkyard is filled with neons as far as the eye can see, but dang if I'll EVER see a 2g in it.. So, I want a manual from a Neon..

I've searched everywhere and I can't seem to find a list of what i'd need if it's even possible. I've foind lists about what i'll need if i'm swaping in a manual from another DSM, but not a neon..

God this cars getting me depressed. lol

That article assumes you have a tranny from a DSM avail.. ( I think)

What I wanna do is take the Manual tranny from a Neon and swap it into a Auto 2nd Gen..

The article assumes you already have a M/T tranny in your car. The bellhousings between our cars and Neons have different clutch actuation systems (cable vs. hydraulic), so you'd need to swap bellhousings to retain the hydraulic system.

Since you don't have an Eclipse M/T on hand, you could take most of the parts from the clutch assembly on the Neon and make yours a cable actuated system. You could also find a tranny from a 2001+ base model Neon; they have hydraulic clutches.

Nice! thanks a ton.

Now I wonder if I could use the linkage from the tranny to the shifter too..

ok my bad didnt realize you were working with an auto

I see my writeup is getting used well...

Yes i wrote that assuming you have a MTX already.

Kepp in mind guys, the 3.55 trans is very slow if your not turbo. It was designed for a much lighter car. The idea of the 3.55 is to place more load on the motor to make an effort to reduce so much torque when your turbo spools. The intention is to install a 3.55 when you reach the 15psi marker. At 15psi I still spin in 3rd gear although i hook up faster than i did with my 3.94.

If you do not have a MTX car, you should look for a neon with a Hydraulic clutch. Then the trans will just swap over with the 2GNT brackets. Keep in mind the SRT-4 trans will not even fit in our cars. Nor will its quaife fit in our trannys.

A damn shame that is, too.
