i bought a 98 gs and 4th gear went and then the housing busted... i found a neon trans (nv-t350) but its cable, i first bought it with the intentions of just swapping bellhousing's but my hydro bellhousing is in pieces, my question is can i use the cable trans in my car... i kno the neons are similar but can i use the peddles and clutch cable?

do a search for 3.55 transmission there are writeups on how to do it. if your car is stock it'll really seem boggy but if you've done some serious performance upgrades the extra top end is very nice.

you're gonna have to suck it up and get the proper bellhousing. the cable bellhousing won't work.

I don't know of anyone that has tried swapping to the cable pedal assembly. if you tried it, you'd be the first.

it would be massively annoying to say the least, there's not much room in that section of the firewall to work in.

yea i was also thinkin of making a mechninism to keep all the hydro system and make somthing to activate the clutch... somethin that i would use the slave cylinder and it push somthin that would pull the cable.. im going to run this by my g-pa who was a engineer and see if this is really just overengineering somthin.. but like my dad says if you got more time then money lol... i need to go to the local junk yard and just look and see what the pedal assembly looks like out of a neon

good luck. I really hope I don't have to whip out the failboat here. It seems to me like you're trying to make something way more complicated than it needs to be

i cant find a bellhousing for cheaper then i can get a stock trans... i found a stock one for 350 but i already have the neon nv-t350... anyone got one from sale?.

Check the forsale section, I'd bet someone is parting out a car that could get you a bellhousing for cheaper.

if i could find one i would just get it i just dont have time to be a engineer lol... anyone got a trans?.. il do some trading with the neon 3.55 trans i have just for a complete good stock trans and il add money or just buy a bellhousing

with your post count as it is you can't make a WTB post in the sale forums but I'd bet you could look through them and find one of the guys parting out a car and send them a PM for the bellhousing or the whole trans.
if I had an extra trans I'd swap with you but trannies aren't in my bins of spares.

good idea, just post a trade on neons.org and see if guys want to swap.
