Yeah its sad. On friday I went to Mitsubishi dealership to have them work on the recalls for my car. They couldnt flash my ECU so they told me they had a recall on the Ball Join, I said, well go ahead and fix that then. Well, they got that fixed and put 2 new Left and Right Arm assy. On my way to my parents house, I heard a loud *CLANK* and my car shut off while I was going 30mph, I was like "Holy shhh...." And when ahead and started the car up again, It reved fine and put it on 1st and accelerated and the car wasent moving, So I figured, Oh shit, I bet the people at Mitsu did something wrong and a axel just came undone. Well I was wrong. I stoped at a parking lot while I still have momentum of the car and called them up and said "Well my tranny just exploded soooo I need you guys to double check for fuck ups". Tranny fluid just went everywere in the parking lot, it smelled like rotten eggs. So the tow truck picked my eclipse, took it to the dealership, and 3hrs later they called me to tell me it was not their fault. They said that my tranny exploded from the inside and made a huge hole on the case. Well anyways, does anyone here know the process in replacing the arm assy and the ball joint? I want to know really if it was their fault. Also, does anyone here have an extra 420a 5Speed tranny that would like to sell around texas, just incase these fuckers dont want to pay for my damage. Well anywho thanks.

well, guess you dont need to worry bout your WP now

that sucks dude

Yeah I know, it blows major asscrack. Well, I think this calls for a major rebuild. Yes ladies, that means Mitsubishi Eclipse RS-S (Supercharged).

I dont see how they could have done that. Just bad luck and we have a trans section use it!

sounds like you have been doing too many burn outs with your open diff trans. your fault.

That really sucks man, but you might as well go and do the neon tranny swap. Check local junk yards for a tranny. I have not heard of anything causeing a transmission to grenade, from doing the recalls on the suspension. As was said above bad luck, and probaly lack of maintance cause it by previous owner.

If possible I would like to have your blown tanny.

Dirk

I really dont do burnouts on my 2G, not into the whole "Ohhh imma burn out and show off" kinda shit. I drive my 2G as a daily driver, since thats what it was. But yeah, Ill try looking around for that tranny. So any neon 95-99 has that tranny?

Oh and sure, you can have this blown tranny. Were abouts are you located?

Also, what cars (Model and year) have our engine and tranny?? That way I can go shopping at a junkyard.

Look on the mainpage, a lot of effort has gone into those pages of info for you. Please take advantage of them.

The 95-00 Neon Trans is somewhat different. 5th gear is different and the final drive is also different. Unless you are pushing over 10lbs of boost the Neon trans, at least the 3.55 trans is not really a good option.

Now if you can get your hands on a 2001+ neon Magnum trans then it is the same. See the specs on the FAQ main page for any differences.

To identify the correct trans look on the endplate, there will be a silver tag. On that tag you will see the ID number as well as 3.55 or 3.94. You want 3.94

The srt-4 trans is very different, dont try to use it.

I see, Im just looking for something to put for now to atleast drive it. Later on when I get the SC on, I can change to a diff trans.

Sorry to bring this back a bit STT, but the gear ratio on the neon tranny, would it be better in the 1/4mi over the eclipse tranny? 97 GS

It all depends on your setup. unless you have a built block and your running higher PSI, your car will be slower.

Im located just west of Fossil Creek towrads Eagle Mtn. Lake.
And yea the main page has a butt load of information about this, so does the search button.

Dirk

How much would you guys pay for a used tranny?? I want to make sure I dont get my ass riped off.

A good 3.94 trans will cost you 450+. average price for a good working trans no grinds is about 500-550.

Neon 3.55 tranny's go for 250.00

Not sure what the newer neon 3.9 trannys go for but i am sure its high since they are so new.

Terry

Ah thats good. I finally had the car towed to my garage and I had my brother look at what happen and he said the differential grenaded inside. He said the gears are totally fine, he turned on the car, it idled fine, he put it on 1st and the car made no nasty clashing metal sound like before, we could only hear a faint clank sound, he said something about the differential not moving anymore causing the tires to stay idle. He reved on every gear and it was just fine, so he told me my tranny itself is healtly, shifts fine, its just the differential, also I might need a new case or weld that huge whole were a piece of the differential pierced through. What would you guys recommend, Just get a new tranny, or rebuilt the current one?

He cant tell you the gears are fine until its apart and he should know that. If the differential grenaded i am secure to tell you the output shaft prolly has damage.

What you can do. Unless your brother has experience rebuilding transmissions (judging by his jumping to assumptions i would say not much), pull your trans, remove the bellhousing and diff and ship me the gear set. I have the spare parts to go through it and replace whats damaged. In the mean time you can buy a new bellhousing from one of the neon guys, if you need a diff eclipsemoneypit has one for sale now for 75.00.

If you can find a replacement for 450.00 then go for it but you might find its hard to find them at times. like i said most of the time they go for 500 on average + shipping.

I will have one for sale shortly after i go through it, but i will want 550.00 shipped

Terry

Ah ok, well I tell you what, How about I send you the whole tranny and then tell me what you think went wrong, then you can rebuild it for yourself lol.

lol well you can do that too or i can fix whats wrong. sell it and ship it for you to help you recover some costs.

Ah you would do that? Thats awsome. What about that hole in the case, would it hafta be welded??

ruh roh...I think someone else is gonna have to jump in on this.

Damn, is that a burning red hot turbo in your avatar?? Jesus thats just rad hahaha

yup, sure is...turbonium

so, how much for that tranny?
do you charge a troubleshooting fee lol?

For my busted one? Or when he fixes it?

I need a good tranny lol. Mine is doin some crazy nonsense right now, so I'll take yours, his, whoevers hahaha.

Bellhousing would need to be replaced.
