trans swap
Direct from "The Official 2nd Gen FAQ and Performance Thread"...
Q: Can I swap in a manual transmission into my automatic Neon?
A: Yes, you can and will need the following: transmission (3.55 or 3.94), modular clutch, passenger side axle, clutch master and slave cylinder, shifter cables and clips, tranny side motor mount from a manual transmission 2nd gen, MTX PCM from your year car, shifter and shifter base, clutch and brake pedal assembly from a 2nd Gen.
However, you have a 2000 so you need to decide if you wnt to stay with the cable clutch or go with the 01+ hydraulic clutch setup. That list I put in the FAQ is for a hydraulic clutch transmission swap...
