Yes you need a tranny from 95-00 neon. Click the link for more info on the swap...

yeah thats probably the best link^^^ for the swap. But Im gonna take a bunch of pics and write down everything I do and try and get a sticky on here for the swap. I have printed this link^^ off and studied it.

 

ive swapped 4 neons from ATX to MTX, its actually not that hard, evrything bolts right up except the bobble strut, i ran mine forever without it and never had any problems other than having to use urathane mount inserts.

 

^^^Would you care to share any tips/pointers???
