So avenger, neon, talon?

Any major concerns with swapping a neon in besides the belhousing

You can use an Avenger,Talon,Eclipse, Neon with a 420A.
But you have to swap the bell housing, on the older neon transmissions.

The gear ratio will make your car feel a little slower and you will get better gas mileage.
Supposedly it will help turbo spool speed, if you ever go turbo on the car.
But I bought a TSI, instead of turbocharging my 420A.

I recommend getting a 2001+ neon 5 speed, because the switched over to hydraulic clutches.
And you won't have to swap bell housings.
I used a 2002 neon transmission, found it at a junkyard with only 8,000 miles on it.

was just about to ask if you know what year I can use up to.

It shows you in the 2nd link I posted, in the chart.
95-00 you can use, but have to swap bell housings.
01-05 you can use, and keep the bell housing.

Not helpful but i thats all i could think of. A turbo did yoiu look at what others are using on their turbo set ups. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Talon Ok i did a google to find out what may fit.

Sorry to revive this thread but i wanted to ask, even if you changed the trans to a 1995-up would the bell housing bolt up to the 420A even tho its a cable clutch assembly? also wouldn't it be easier to install with it being a cable clutch?

i bought a 1st gen talon with a 4g 63motor and i am trying to swap the trans into my 2nd gen eclipse with the same motor my mechian said they have different size torque converter's does it sound right and can you swap them out?

The tranny won't bolt into the 2g. There are no holes for front and rear tranny mount brackets. The electronics are different also.
