Guys,

As some of you may know or may have noticed I am undertaking, with the help of some good guys, the AT->MT swap. Been reading up a bit and from helpful information from guys on the board have seen that supposedly a 95-99 Neon Tranny can be used in a 97 NT. Only thing that has to be changed is the bell housing. Just wondering a few things:


-Can the bell housing from a 2GNT be easily found and just switched?
-Will the tranny be a direct bolt in after the bellhousing has been switched.
-Just how reliable are these trannies? because I can currently find one for far cheaper than a dsm one.

Thanks for all the help in advance guys.

Yep, all you do is switch bellhousings and it's a direct bolt on. You might have to cut off some type of counterweight, where the shifter links, to make it fit. But yeah, me and a friend of mine switched trannies from a Neon to his 2GNT.

Oh yeah, the Neon tranny has a different ratio in one of the gears. I can't remember which one, so it'll affect performance a bit.

Does anyone know exactly what gear the ratio is different in. And just how big of a performance drop it would be?

3.55 and 3.94 are the ratios check neons.org for info on the ratios they can help u...

Did you guys even READ THE LINK I posted?
