I haven't seen any.
Call Howell Automotive or PM Gary Howell; I'm sure he can answer that.

Yeah; it's too bad they don't care about newer regular Neons as far as aftermarket parts. They take care of the SRT's though.

Though many of would choose to differ, the Neon wasn't really meant to be an enthusiast car. The SRT-4 was designed with the intent of having a large aftermarket. The SRT-4 was designed on top of the Neon platform, unfortunately, most SRT-4 parts are not backwards compatible, unless you can find an adaptor. Of course, anything is compatible with enough fabrication, but it will never be as good as the original. SRT-4's have the advantage of being badged as a Neon, thus their drivers can often get the jump on unsuspecting competitors with a stock turbo and larger motor.

I find that the 1st generation Neon has a larger aftermarket than the first generation neon. Even the 00-02 Neons have a larger aftermarket than the 03-05 Neon.

As far as I know, there's no automatic shift kit upgrade or conversion. You could try contacting the guys at Howell Automotive

The 2nd Gen Neon RT was meant to be hooked up even before the SRT-4 came out. They don't have much for that and it was meant for performance.

I just put a shift kit, or valve body in my 2000. It only took a couple hours. Works great. I got it thru modern performance
