gauge cluster
i have an 05 neon with an automatic transmission the gauge cluster has no tach is it possible to swap this for one that does and will it simply plug diretly in? also is it possible to put a manual shift **** on instead of the automatic one because i cannot find a led automatic **** anywhere

Not sure about the shift ****....
The cluster plugs directly in and the only thing you will lose is the mileage. I just installed the 2004 cluster in my 2001 SE because it didn't include a tach. I got my cluster off ebay for $40 shipped. Check them out. I had the question a long time ago about whether or not the tach was already wired into my factory harness. I found out that they are for all Dodge vehicles manufactured after 1980.

If you put a manual shift **** onto your automatic, how would you shift it? You have to have the button to unlock the shifter. If you really need an LED shift ****, I'm sure you can find one on eBay at the least.

+1 on the guage cluster ...I also replaced my SE non-tach cluster with one from an SXT.. which also changed it from the black gauge faces to the white gauge faces, as well as gaining the tach...got mine from e-bay also for right around the same price.
On the auto shift ****, I can relate.... there is NOT alot of auto replacements to be found on e-bay...possibly even NONE at most times...there are TONS of manual replacement *****. I had also wanted to change mine to something non-stock-y, but gave up. I did read here, or somewhere, that u can use a non-button auto ****, and to switch positions, u just push down...supposedly, that's all the button does.
I'm not a big fan of mounting something that LOOKS like a manual shift.... what do u do, PRETEND to shift when yer at a stoplight or driving?... seems to me the same as mounting SRT-4 badges on yer trunk when u don't even have an SRT-4 or even a turbo, ..and people rag on that to no end
