Originally posted by whodatt1 I would not trust a rebuilt tranny too much.. you could buy a SOHC 3.55 neon tranny. it will give you a bit taller gearing, i think you can find those for about $300 -$400. when my tranny broke i replaced it another nv-t350 tranny and it cost me $750 I looked on line and locally for a cheaper one.. i could not find a cheaper one that would ship here. Good luck.
What is the advantage of the Neon 3.55 tranny? It would make your car loose acceleration, and gain on the top end. Does anyone feel that their top end is lacking? Are the 3.55 trannys any stronger or more reliable? I haven't seen any convincing arguments that would make me want to go with a 3.55 tranny. Tall gearing will get you better gas milage, but would lower your acceleration. Is the 5th gear on the 3.55 tranny any different than ours, or is it just the final drive? If 5th gear is geared taller, but would still be compatable in our trannys I would be interested in that. Keep my accereration in 1st through 4th and have a nice cruising gear. Please point me to some more info on this, I am very interested.
