Is there any 6 speed transmission for a 2gnt?

Nothing that costs less than $16,000. Why?

I've heard from a couple of neon-ites that the Mini may use the same transmission (or at least closely related tranny) as we do. The Mini uses a 6 speed.

That may be true, because the mini uses a Chrysler built 1.6L, but i can't confirm that it would even be remotely close to bolting up.

The reason i asked "why" is because most people want 6 gears "so they can go faster". Considering the 3.55 trans option, a 6 speed for that reason is a pretty worthless endevour.

Yeah the use of six speed is for performance and highway economy combo.

The Mini is a 420A variant so the trans bolt pattern could work, just deoends on case abnd diff location, etc, etc...

Oh I totally agree. But I'm a nut for trivia, such as an available 6 speed.

I myself am not so far away from acquiring a 3.55. It's more of having play money available to buy it.

This may be a dumass ? but what is a 3.55

Isn't that a gear ratio? God i feel dumb right now...


ditto...what is that?

Try the search, on this section.

This is kinda irrelevant, but the mini can use the 420a screamin demon coil. i saw some guy post about it on howell. how would we go about finding the necessary info about the transmission? visit the mini boards?

off topic but does the mini s have the same 420a varient?

oh my god. this post has slowly turned into the grape vine



For all you too lazy to search. our trannies for a dohc 420a, uses a 3.94 gearing ratio. the neon is a little bit higher geared with a 3.55. People boosting lots like to use it so they don't just donate rubber to the pavement thru 1st and 2nd. and it helps you shift a little less obviously.
