yeap. I waxed my trans A year and a half of 15psi and daily abuse combined with low fluid did it in. I ate the torque surface off both 3rd and 4th's syncro rings, and destroyed the shift fork bushings on the 3-4 fork. Good times...
So, i bought a 3.55 final SOHC Neon trans on Thursday, tore it down Thursday night, dropped mine Friday, rebuilt it with the Neon guts Saturday, and put it back in on Sunday. The taller gearing is nice - i actually have a first gear that winds out now, rather than just pegging the tach. Fifth sucks - it's ugly tall. 80MPH in my new fifth gear is 2400RPM. :o
Other than that, it's nice. No more ugly trans noises, nice stiff crisp shifts, and enough gear to theoretically reach 204MPH

I thought about it, but i didn't want to pay Joe, ARD's transmission specialist, to do it. I tore them down and reassembled mine myself, but i couldn't clamp and press the gear off myself, nor reassemble the shaft.
It'll work out. I'll either get bitchin gas mileage on long trips, or it'll go to shit. Waiting to see which way it goes...

nice. I would love to have my car at 2300 at 80mph. b/c that's how fast I drive to work everyday and a 420a at 3300 rpms makes your ears ring. keep us updated on the fuel mileage Dino.

The bright side of my fifth is easy crusing at 120mph.
