i found a 1995 that needs valve work
guy wants 500 for it i can talk him down prolly
if i bought that would the tranny still be good an all u think?
i would still need to buy a clutch fly wheel and t/o bearing though right

just a thought here.....
why would the r/t's be better for highway mailage if the 5th gear revs higher????
the sohc trans i once had in my old car gave me alot better gas milage then the r/t trans did...5th gear on the sohc trans runs about 500rpms lower then the dohc trans does
Other way around is what I meant. The 0.72 fifth gear would be the better one for gas milage.

Tranny should be OK and yes you should get a new t/o bearing.

i boguht the whole shot, CV shafts, clutch, flywheel, evrything from a junk yard for $500, it all came out of a 98 r/t, except i didnt get the PCM, im still running the automatic PCM in mine, i hooked the neutral safety switch wire to the pedal switch and grounded the other side so it start only with the clutch in and has a 6750 rev limit when the clutch it out, when you bang gears it kills the motor for you when you hit the clutch if its above 5500, only problem i have with that is the idle speed goes up or down if the pedal is in or out
what do you mean when i "bang" gears new to mtx's

If the car has alot of miles on it, then I'd get a new clutch as well.

I'd rather swap trannies. Besides you have a 98 and they are different from the 95...some sensors are different. And it depends what you consider easy...either way you have to pull the engine and tranny.

true very true totally forgot it was a different year lol
i'm just hoping this guy still has the neon for sale lol
itll be cheaper for me to buy the donor car keep it in the garage a couple weeks
get a new flywheel, clutch, and t/o bearing
that brings me to another question
can anyone tell me what flywheel , clutch and t/o bearing to get
tihs cars gonna be a daily driver i just wanna get more whp and torque so its more "fun" to drive it
so if anyone (das) can guide me to a clutch flywheel and t/o bearing id aprreciate it

like would this work or be any good ?? ::: clutch flywheel t/o bearing on ebay "any good?"

T/O or Release Bearing
Sachs - Clutch Kit or the PT Clutch is good also.

Not sure about the flywheel...how much are you wanting to spend?
