Well guys I think this tranny has seen its day's. For the last year or so it has been difficult to grab 3rd and shudders when put into reverse horribly. I can get a 2002 neon base model tranny for about 400$. Is this a good price?

Edit: That 400$ one has 17K on it. I can get another with 70K on it for 100$ cheaper.

Go for the cheaper one. 90% of the junkyard transaxles i've seen for our cars are pristine inside regardless of milage. With stock output going through them, these transaxles are eternal.

That is what I was thinking too. I read that the only thing I need to change from the 2002 is the bell, shifter levers and the mounts, which I can source from my current tranny correct?

All you ned is the shift levers, which might be the same. Everything else is idential.

Cool, sounds like its even easier swap than I had first thought. Thanks D.

i can still sell these for 250 shipped

250 shipped for a direct drop in with the taller gears?
