I have to replace the whole thing. I brought it to a shop they put a new clutch in it, but then said the tranny needs to be replaced, and they don't do that. So i have a new clutch in a bad tranny. So now i need a new one but don't know what to get. I read on the 2gnt main site about a neon one with a better final drive. Should i get that or get a stock one and put a better clutch in it and LSD. I'm going to go turbo one day. What should i do. Thanks

What he said ^
Don't ever just take a shops word without justification. Find out exactly what is wrong with it. Trannies don't just stop working. Really, the only reason you would need a new one is if a shift fork or other internal blew through the housing itself, and I doubt that happened. Otherwise, they can be rebuilt (if something actually is wrong) which may or may not be more expensive than just finding another used one. Take some pictures of the 'problem' if you can.

I'm still driving the car and have been for a while too. I haven't had the money to get a new one. It's ok other than it grinds when you put it in 2nd gear, and is starting to when you put it in 5th. The clutch is real close to the floor. If It just needs a rebuild should i put a performance clutch and a LSD in it. IF so which one. I don't know about this stuff enough to go tearing into it to see whats wrong. I still have to drive it to work.
