I have owned a 1995 (325000km) and a 2001 (153000km) Neon both with manual transmissions. I’ve never had any transmission or clutch problems with either of them. I have now found a low mileage 2003 Neon with an automatic transmission and am wondering what the reliability of the automatic transmission is like.
Well, I've got a 2004 automatic SE, just over 78000 miles. So far I've had no problems with the tranny, though there's obviously less control than with a manual.
My transmission pump went out about 4 months after I bought mine. However, it seems someone had worked on it before because, for example, the torque converter was from an 02 Neon...
Not sure if it was actually the car or someone messing with it before.
