im wondering if anyone here would be selling a setup to switch from the modular setup over to a flywheel setup. or if anyone could point me in the right direction. i know fidanza sells a kit, but that's just a lot of money. let me know please. thanks
 
Yes, I do know that it is for the n/t set up and the reason I have a turbo car in my profile name is because I own 2 n/t eclipses and one turbo eclipse. Thank you for the links.

On another note, I found out you can just buy the flywheel and clutch (bolts for flywheel to crank and pp to flywheel) set up for a 95 Neon with a normal clutch and it will swap out the modular set up for a traditional set up. Auto Zone is listing the entire set up minus the bolts for pretty cheap. The flywheel is only 60 after core return and the clutch is 159.00 with a lifetime warranty.
 
Yea, I was going to say you could probably just buy the clutch for the mexican-built dodge neon; as those got the standard setup. Yup, and you'll need to get flywheel bolts, too. The modular setup uses shorter bolts; similar to flexplate ones. I believe Mopar Performance used to sell a kit to swap them over since they sold a performance clutch kit... which was, of course, for a standard clutch setup. The PT cruiser clutch is also an upgrade from a stock neon clutch, FYI.

AZ clutch and pressure plate $237 my in area. AdvanceAuto is $159 in my area and flywheel is $85. Pays to shop around.
 
What's wrong with the modular setup other than the annoying throwout bearing noise at low rpms?
I've noticed this in my srt and some trans ams
 
TOB noise has nothing to do with whether it is modular or non-modular. If the TOB isn't shot, then the noise (rattling) is usually caused by improper install. There are two very small metal clips on the TOB that hold it to the fork which often break during install, causing the noise.

Just something i've noticed with modular clutch cars, at low speed(2-5mph) when taking off from say 2nd gear. It can be very faint but maybe you have to have the ear for it
