I almost have her done. Thank you for your help. You've gotten me through everything else and now I have another problem:

When the car is cold it has an issue shifting into 3 rd gear. I have to take it up to around 75mph before it shifts. After that it increasingly gets easier to shift into 3rd gear. Once it's warm no problem at all. I do not know what to try to fix it. It was previously sitting for 2 years. Then I did the head gasket and timing and she runs great except for the shifting problem. It had no issue what so ever when parked with the blown head gasket 2 years ago. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be great thanks

Thefluid is full and I added a bottle of Lucus too. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

 

ive never seen an overdirve autoneon trans.. did i miss something?

 

Neons don't have an overdrive...that is the torque lockup converter kicking on.

You should not add anything to the tranny fluid. Mopar ATF+4 is ALL you need.

 

Has the trans. fluid and filter been changed? A clogged filter can sometimes restrict flow when cold and act normal when warm. Recommended fluid and filter change is every 30,000 miles but I know a lot of people never do.
