Default AutoStick on a neon; possible?

I am curious if it is possible to have an AutoStick enabled 2003 Dodge Neon. Has it been done? Thanks!

I've seen it talked about before. I think there's a lot more to it than anyone is wanting to invest into a Neon for the feature.

There's an option for the 3 speed auto but I'm not sure about the 4 speed. Pretty sure yours is computer controlled. I have a 2000 with the 3 speed and mine isn't computer controlled so I can do the mod if I want but it's pointless throwing money at an automatic trans.

I have a 2000 neon with a 3-speed and was so unhappy with the performanace. In 2008 when I was searching for shift kits I stumpled upon a site called transgo. They make shift improvment kits for all kinds of auto cars. Mine was made by trans-dapt. I ended up buying it and my friend installed it. You basically mod the valve body. You can either go full manual or semi. Which is you put it in D for drive, or you can put it in 1,2, or D for manual control. I must say it greatly imprved the shift points. No more sluggish auto shifting. And when you put it in 1 it will hold till the redline, or any RPM you want, then you just simply push it up into 2 and repeat. You can also downshift with it, but I dont do that at high speeds. There is also videos on yourtube of turbo modded neons using the 3-speed with a shift kit and hauling ***. The 3-speed auto when modded right can outperfrom the manual. You can also buy internal parts, such as better drums, clutch packs, bands etc. I have 235k on the original tranny and I did this when the car had 150k. I have always changed the fliud and filter regularly and the car runs great.
